Not only do we recycle the obvious things like paper and glass, but we go above and beyond by recycling other things used in the shop too, such as plastic bags, batteries, scrap metal, metal hangers, and fluorescent lights. We are also big believers in textile recycling, so we participate fully in it. All of the textiles that come into our shop are either sold in the shop for reuse, donated to another organization for reuse, or taken to a company that reclaims soiled, torn, and otherwise unusable textiles. As a result, we can happily say that we dispose of less than 1,000 lbs of waste each year.
