| recycling 3r's reduce, reuse,recycle |
The City of Northglenn encourages all its residents to help protect our environment by following the Three R's of Recycling. They are reduce, reuse, and recycle.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency defines the Three R's as follows:
Reduction, also called "waste prevention" or "source reduction," means consuming and throwing away less. It includes purchasing durable, long-lasting goods; seeking products and packaging that are as free of toxics as possible; and redesigning products to use less raw material in production, have a longer life, or be used again after its original use.
Source reduction actually prevents the generation of waste in the first place, so it is the most preferred method of waste management and goes a long way toward protecting the environment.
Reusing items by repairing them, donating them to charity and community groups, or selling them also reduces waste. Reusing products, when possible, is even better than recycling because the item does not need to be reprocessed before it can be used again.
Recycling turns materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable resources. In addition, it generates a host of environmental, financial, and social benefits. Materials like glass, metal, plastics, and paper are collected, separated and sent to facilities that can process them into new materials or products.
