I pledge to do the following:
|
|
I will find out what is and what is not recyclable in the City of Sacramento.
My family and I will look in our garbage can to find at least three things we are throwing away that could be reduced, reused or recycled.
I will add a recycling container to a room of the house where waste is generated such as the kitchen, bathrooms, office, homework area, and garage.
I will remember to use reusable shopping bags when I shop instead of taking a plastic or paper bag from the store.
I pledge to recycle my old phone books and am aware of the resource to opt out of receiving phone books delivered to my home by going to http://www.yellowpagesoptout.com should I no longer wish to receive a printed yellow pages.
I pledge to recycle my junk mail and better yet stop getting it by going to http://www.stopjunkmail.org
I will reduce the amount of disposable products I use in my home such as disposable plates, cups, and napkins.
I will consider using online payment methods (online bill pay) to pay my bills, such as my utility bill, which helps to limit paper waste.
I will follow the Department of Utilities on Facebook and Twitter to keep informed of relevant information and events.
I pledge to lead by example in my neighborhood by properly disposing of my household waste as described below.
- Recycling - placing only recyclable materials in my blue recycling container and keeping it free of other contamination such as food waste and household hazardous waste.
