🍂 As fall is officially underway, now's a good time to start thinking about how to reduce your waste this season! 🎃

-Reuse seasonal decorations: Before buying new decor, look around your home and see what you can reuse from previous years.
-Donate Halloween costumes: Donate costumes that no longer fit so someone else can get use out of them.
-Choose reusable bags: Use a reusable bag to collect your Halloween candy instead of a disposable one.
-Skip disposable party supplies: When planning your Halloween party, choose reusable plates, cups, and utensils instead of disposable ones.

♻️ Small changes can help reduce waste while keeping the fall and Halloween season fun!
