General Waste

When recycling and reuse aren't options, we can take general waste. But let's check if there's a better way first.

⚠️ This should be a last resort. Most stuff can be recycled, reused, or disposed of in a better way. Take a minute to check your options before sending things to disposal.

Before You Pay for Landfill Check These Options First

Most stuff can go somewhere better (and cheaper). Check these options first:

Number 2 reason We Sort By Hand

Often Cheaper
