Aspectos básicos sobre reducir y reusar La manera más efectiva para reducir los residuos es no crearlo en el primer lugar. Hacer un nuevo producto requiere una gran cantidad de materiales y energía: las materias primas deben ser extraídos de la tierra, y el producto debe ser fabricado y luego transportado a donde quiera que se venderá. Como resultado, la reducción y la reutilización son las formas más efectivas que usted puede ahorrar los recursos naturales, proteger el medio ambiente y ahorrar dinero.

6 Steps to Starting a Community Recycling Program •

Will your recycling program be collecting the recyclables curbside or will you have drop-off centers?

•

Will you include businesses?

•

Who will do the sorting?

•

Depending on the size of your community, would it be best to outsource the recycling to a contract hauler?

Step 5: Plot a plan for preventing waste

Working together with other members of your community, you can create a recycling program. Photo: morgueFile/matei

Your city doesn’t have a recycling program, and you want to do something to change that — so where do you start? It’s a big task, but it can be done. Let these six steps be your guide.

Step 1: Build a team To create a recycling program, the first thing you’ll need is a team of motivated and environmentally minded community members, including politicians. You’ll need help in many areas to build a program, such as with issuing the best collection bins and equipment, choosing and negotiating with the recycling hauler, and understanding and negotiating different contracts and budgets.

Step 2: Create a plan Outline the program’s objectives, keeping them as focused as possible. As a recycling team, you have many things to determine: Will you include businesses and apartments in the program, or just houses?

What are you going to recycle?

What recyclables do the haulers want? How often will you pick up recyclables, or will you have a dropoff center? Can you offset some of the costs by partnering with a neighboring community? The goals need to be specific to your community’s size and what you decide to recycle.

Step 3: Choose which materi-

People get so focused on recycling that they forget that eliminating waste at the source is even better than recycling. Look at ways you can prevent waste production,

align with community leaders who will champion your efforts. This is an important step in implementing your recycling program. You will need local and state leaders to help fund your recycling endeavors and assist you in maneuvering through any unforeseen governmental red tape that could prevent you from succeeding.

Once you’ve gotten a feel for how the community is responding, you’ll be able to divide your community into two groups: those who are environmentally friendly and those who may be a little more difficult to persuade. Begin by marketing to and educating the individuals who fall into the first group. Explain and

als to recycle Deciding which materials to recycle seems like the easy part. It can be a slippery slope, though, if you aren’t specific about the materials that will be part of the program — you’ll have community members who want to recycle odd items like phone books and electronics . . . and then they’ll try to set out an old washing machine. The team needs to focus on not only removing materials from the waste stream but finding a market for them.

To start with, what recyclables does your community generate in the greatest quantities? To better answer this, conduct a waste assessment to see what is currently being thrown away. The most common items include aluminum, steel food containers, certain glass and plastic bottles, and various acceptable papers. Also check with your state’s recycling office about restrictions regarding materials such as recycling yard waste and household hazardous waste.

Step 4: Figure out collection and processing Check with your state’s recycling office regarding what collection systems have worked best with large and small communities. Your collection system is an integral part of your entire program. Consider things such as:

Choosing the right type of recycling bin is just one step in starting a community recycling program. Photo: morgueFile/krosseel

then look at managing the ongoing waste to determine the best recycling options.

Once you’ve outlined your recycling goals, negotiated your recycling hauler and put a collection system in place, it’s time to get the community’s buy-in. This will take the effort of your entire team, and it’s crucial to your program’s success.

Step 6: Educate the community Your team will have to educate members of the community on what can be recycled and why it’s important to participate. The quickest way to get community buy-in is to

simplify the program so it gets off to a positive start. Once the program is building momentum, start focusing your message on the people who may not believe that recycling is important. To this second group, emphasize the economic benefits of recycling over the environmental values.

Recycling is more than a feelgood tree-hugging movement — it’s a growing industry with positive results for our economy. Get your local council members and politicians involved by reminding them that, in addition to helping the environment, your community’s recyclables have a monetary value.

Reducing and Reusing Basics Benefits of Donation • Prevents usable goods from going into landfills • Helps your community and those in need • Tax benefits may be available

Aspectos básicos sobre reducir y reusar Extracted from http://www2.epa. gov/recycle/reducing-and-reusingbasics The most effective way to reduce waste is to not create it in the first place. Making a new product requires a lot of materials and energy: raw materials must be extracted from the earth, and the product must be fabricated and then transported to wherever it will be sold.

As a result, reduction and reuse are the most effective ways you can save natural resources, protect the environment, and save money.

Benefits of Reducing and Reusing • Prevents pollution caused by reducing the need to harvest new raw materials; • Saves energy; • Reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change; • Helps sustain the environment for future generations; • Saves money; • Reduces the amount of waste that will need to be recycled or sent to landfills and incinerators; • Allows products to be used to their fullest extent.

Ideas on How to Reduce and Reuse • Buy used. You can find everything from clothes to building materials at specialized reuse centers and consignment shops.

Often, used items are less expensive and just as good as new.

• Look for products that use less packaging. When manufacturers make their products with less packaging, they use less raw material. This reduces waste and costs. These extra savings can be passed along to the consumer.

Buying in bulk, for example, can reduce packaging and save money.

• Buy reusable over disposable items. Look for items that can be reused; the little things can add up. For example, you can bring your own silverware and cup to work, rather than using disposable items.

• Maintain and repair products, like clothing, tires, and appliances, so that they won’t have to be thrown out and replaced as frequently.

• Borrow, rent, or share items that are used infrequently, like party decorations, tools, or furniture.

Donation One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. Instead of discarding unwanted appliances, tools, or clothes, try selling or donating them. Not only will you be reducing waste, you’ll be helping others. Local churches, community centers, thrift stores, schools, and nonprofit organizations may accept a variety of donated items, including used books, working electronics, and unneeded furniture.

La manera más efectiva para reducir los residuos es no crearlo en el primer lugar. Hacer un nuevo producto requiere una gran cantidad de materiales y energía: las materias primas deben ser extraídos de la tierra, y el producto debe ser fabricado y luego transportado a donde quiera que se venderá.

Como resultado, la reducción y la reutilización son las formas más efectivas que usted puede ahorrar los recursos naturales, proteger el medio ambiente y ahorrar dinero.

Beneficios de la Reducción y reutilización

dos son menos costosos y tan buenos como nuevo.

• Busque productos que usen menos embalaje. Cuando los fabricantes hacen sus productos con menos embalaje , usan menos materia prima. Esto reduce el desperdicio y los costos. Estos ahorros adicionales se pueden pasar a lo largo de los consumidores.

Comprar a granel, por ejemplo, puede reducir el embalaje y ahorrar dinero.

• Compre reutilizable en lugar de artículos desechables. Busque los artículos que pueden ser reutilizados; las pequeñas cosas pueden sumar. Por ejemplo , usted puede traer sus propios cubiertos y una taza para el trabajo, en lugar de utilizar artículos desechables.

• Mantenga y repare los productos, como la ropa, los neumáticos y los aparatos, por lo que no van a tener que ser botados ​​y sustituidos con tanta frecuencia.

• Evita la contaminación por la reducción de la necesidad de cosechar nuevas materias primas;

• Pida prestado, alquile o comparta artículos que se utilizan con poca frecuencia, como las decoraciones de fiestas, herramientas o mobiliario.

• Ahorro de energía;

Donación

• Reduce las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero que contribuyen al cambio climático global; • Ayuda a mantener el medio ambiente para las generaciones futuras; • Ahorra dinero; • Reduce la cantidad de residuos que deben ser reciclados o enviados a vertederos e incineradores; • Permite a los productos el que se utilicen en toda su extensión.

Ideas sobre cómo reducir y reciclar • Compre usado. Usted puede encontrar de todo, desde ropa hasta materiales de construcción en los centros de reutilización especializados y tiendas de consignación.

A menudo, los elementos utiliza-

La basura de una persona es el tesoro de otra persona. En lugar de desechar los aparatos no deseados, herramientas o ropa, intente venderlos o donarlos. No sólo va a reducir los residuos, sino que podrá ayudar a los demás. Las iglesias locales, centros comunitarios, tiendas de segunda mano, escuelas y organizaciones sin fines de lucro pueden aceptar una variedad de artículos donados, incluyendo libros de segunda mano, electrónicos, y los muebles que no sean necesarios.
