Retail Stores Think Ahead by Precycling

 

Precycling is preventing waste before it happens. Adopt these precycling ideas to reduce waste.

 

 

• Give your customers paper bags made from recycled content paper.
• Don’t stock plastic bags – they clutter up the landfill and waste scarce oil resources.
• Ask your customers if they would like a bag, or would like to use a bag they already have.
• Ask your customers if you can recycle their packaging – boxes, tissue, shirt inserts, tags -- Tourists love it – less to pack for the flight home.
•  Work with your suppliers to reduce packaging. Write to them if your goods arrive with too much packaging that you must throw away.
• Consider going “paperless.” Use electronic banking, credit cards, and filing.

Recycling is the best way to protect the environment. Recycle your cardboard:

• Bring cardboard to Recycle Utah for FREE.
• Buy a baler with your neighbors.
• Use the cardboard compactor on Swede Alley opposite the Transit Center.
• In the fall when gearing up for the tourist season, coop with your neighborhood retailers and to dispose of cardboard daily.
