What are the 3 R’s? Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Do they really matter? We all make too much garbage. Do you throw everything away (landfill)? Do you know where items you landfill end up? Do you reuse things when possible? Do you repurpose things? Do you recycle? If so, do you recycle correctly? CVWMA wants to help you recycle right and learn why it is important.
