Keep Casper Beautiful is dedicated to reducing waste through recycling and reuse efforts.

1. Reduce- Reduce trash by purchasing more durable items.  Consider buying items in bulk or items that have less packaging.  Instead of purchasing individual servings, purchase a larger size and separate it into individual servings in reusable containers.
2. Reuse-Remember to donate usable items such as, furniture, clothing, house wares and electronics to a charity or second hand store before throwing them out.  One person's trash may be another one's treasure. 
3. Recycle all items that you can.  Recycling gives items and materials that would have been trashed a second chance.  Recycling takes a used product and turns it into something new.  That can you are holding could be a new bicycle someday!  To find out about Casper's recycling program click here.
4. Close the Loop- By purchasing materials that are made from recycled materials or contain recycled content you are creating markets for recycled materials and helping to keep the economy of recycling alive!
