Waste Free Holiday Tips From Thurston Solid Waste

Did you know that between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, trash in the United States increases by 25%?  You can help make this year a Waste Free Holiday by helping to reduce and reuse this holiday season.

When you host a gathering, use reusable dishes, napkins, and flatware, provide recycle bins for cans and bottles, and compost bins for food scraps. Instead of gift wrap, consider re-useable containers like tins or baskets.  Consider giving the gift of an experience instead of stuff, such as treating someone to dinner or a movie, or a gift certificate for a massage.

Plus, if you are planning on having a holiday tree you can rent a living tree through Stream Team.  After the holidays the trees will be collected and used in local habitat enhancement projects.
