Recycle & Reduce Waste

End Litter

Don’t place used motor oil in with recycling or garbage. Oil can mix with other chemicals in the garbage creating a hazard. Don't pour oil down a storm drain or on the ground. Just one quart of oil can contaminate up to 250,000 gallons of water.

Take used oil to a drop-off site for recycling. Check with your local automotive store as many stores in Georgia offer free recycling of used oil and filters!
Here in Newnan, Tires Plus will take up to 5 gallons of used motor oil, hydraulic, and or power steering fluids at a time.

Notice litter in your neighborhood on recycling day? Small items like batteries can fall out of the bin or cart when emptied into the recycling truck. Improperly disposing of batteries can also lead to fires. Prevent litter and reduce risks to workers by recycling right.
Learn more about how to manage batteries and where to take your batteries at call2recycle.org
We recycle batteries here at Keep Newnan Beautiful. Call us and let us help you dispose of your batteries correctly.

As the temperature drops, keep in mind these winter weather tips:

1) Secure your solid waste containers. Keep the winter winds from blowing trash and creating litter.
2) Recycle antifreeze. Don't pour antifreeze down the drain or on the ground where it can harm our environment or pets. Check locally for the nearest drop-off recycling site.
3) Use mulch to reduce erosion, maintain moisture, and regulate soil temperature when the temperature swings from cold to warm during the day. In addition to protecting your plants from the cold, mulch can help prevent your bulbs from emerging too soon. Check with your extension service or garden center to select the best type of mulch for your plants and the recommended amounts to apply.
4) Donate your gently used blankets and towels to pet shelters and donate winter coats and jackets to a collection site or reuse store. This is a great way to help a pet or someone in need and keep these items out of the landfill.

Lithium ion batteries are found in many products in our home and garage, including smartphones/laptops, cordless tools, and even electric toothbrushes.

Lithium batteries can overheat, catch fire, or cause an explosion. Improper disposal in garbage or recycling can lead to fires in collection trucks and at waste and recycling facilities.

Don't toss lithium-ion batteries in with your trash or recycling. Take batteries to a drop-off site for recycling.
Need help finding a drop-off site? Check locally or go to Call2Recycle https://www.call2recycle.org/locator/

According to Earth911, approximately 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper is produced in the U.S. each year and an estimated 2.3 million pounds goes to landfills.

This year consider sustainable gift-wrapping options including using reusable tote bags, scarves, cookie tins, glass jars, or fabric/kitchen towels.

Recycle the plain (non-shiny/glittery) wrapping paper, tissue, cards, and boxes.Toss the ribbons, streamers, gift bags, shiny/foil/metallic wrapping paper, balloons, and bows in the trash.

Remember to consider reuse options before you toss.
Hope your holiday is merry and bright! And remember to recycle right!
