CBCC Releases 2022 R-Words Manual  

The “2022 R-Words:  Reduce, Re-Use, Repurpose & Recycle:  A How to Guide to Solid Waste Reduction and working together to make a difference!” publication includes the latest information on the proper disposal rules and methods for all forms of Municipal Solid Waste and Household Hazardous Waste on St. John. It also includes detailed information on the Island Green Living Association’s  exciting new Aluminum and Plastic recycling initiative – so that everyone can easily participate in this recycling effort. 

The 30-page booklet shares “R-Word” strategies and ideas that can extend the life of items and materials that would otherwise end up being discarded.

Using the manual everyone can learn how to:

  • Rethink strategies for purchases and trash disposal
  • Reduce the waste we create
  • Re-use or Repair items to save money and avoid buying new
  • Repurpose old items to extend their life
  • Recycle to reuse our finite material resources

A “how-to” section on composting is also included.
