The "average" Aspinwall resident creates 4.5 pounds of trash every day.  With about 3,000 residents, Aspinwall creates 1,642 pounds of trash every day!  Here are a few simple steps you can try that will help reduce your environmental impact.

-

Reduce

A convenient place to start thinking about reducing waste and energy consumption is right in the home. When there is an attempt to reduce the consumption of a product, a noticeable impact can be seen on the grocery bill and/or electric bill. Waste in the home becomes cut in half by taking small steps to prepare smaller meals, turning off unneeded lights, fixing that leaking water pipe, or even turning down the thermostat.

-

Reuse

The environment provides all resources to create all products on the market, even Eco-friendly products. The right combinations of this and that create what is available on the shelves. When we reuse products, that reduces the environmental impacts.

-

Recycle

Participating in the Aspinwall Town Wide yard sale or donating is a terrific way to recycle.  If you are not sure when or where you can recycle in Aspinwall, click on this link for more info.
