From Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day, food waste increases by more than 25%. That adds up to about 1,000 pounds of extra waste per household.

Be sure to recycle:

  • Aluminum foil and trays (mostly clean): ball up the foil to be three inches in diameter or larger.

  • Cartons: from eggnog, wine, broth and milk.

  • Gift boxes: break down to recycle or save intact to use again next year.

  • Paper: cards, junk mail and newspapers.

  • Tins: decorative, cookie and pie, or save for reuse.
