👕♻️ WEEK 7: DON’T TOSS THOSE TEXTILES!

It’s time for another Family Recycling Challenge, and this week we’re heading to the closets!

⭐ THIS WEEK’S CHALLENGE: THE FAMILY CLOSET CLEAN-OUT

Ask everyone in the family to find 3 textile items they no longer need.

Look for:

👕 Clothing
👟 Shoes
🧢 Hats & scarves
👜 Bags
🛏️ Sheets & linens
🧸 Stuffed items
…and more!

Items that are still in good condition can be donated or passed along for someone else to enjoy. Other accepted textiles can be brought to our County collection sites for textile recycling.

💡 REMEMBER: Keep textiles dry and odor-free. Stuffing is accepted too!

🏆 BONUS CHALLENGE: Add up how many items your entire family kept out of the trash.

Before you toss it, think REUSE or RECYCLE! ♻️

👕 Give your textiles another life—and give your trash can a break!

🔋♻️ WEEK 6: POWER DOWN & RECYCLE RIGHT!

This week’s Family Recycling Challenge is all about something small that can cause a BIG problem when disposed of incorrectly—BATTERIES!

⭐ THIS WEEK’S CHALLENGE: GO ON A BATTERY HUNT!

Look around your home for used batteries hiding in:

📺 Remotes
🧸 Toys
🔦 Flashlights
📷 Cameras
🪥 Electric toothbrushes
…and more!

Found some? Great! Now get them ready for recycling.

⚠️ TAPE IT BEFORE YOU RECYCLE IT!
Use clear tape over the terminals of batteries. For button batteries, tape both sides. This simple step helps reduce the risk of fires.

🔋 Household and rechargeable batteries can be recycled at our County collection sites.
🚗 Car batteries are accepted at Corral Farm only.

🏆 BONUS CHALLENGE: See how many used batteries your family can safely collect and recycle this week!

Keep it safe. Recycle right. Power our future! 🌎♻️
