Waste Reduction Guide
Every item you recycle, reuse, repair, or compost contributes to a healthier, more sustainable Richmond. By diverting waste from landfills, we can conserve valuable natural resources, reduce pollution, save energy, and create a cleaner environment for all residents.
Why Recycle in Richmond?
While recycling is vital, proper recycling is crucial. Putting non-recyclable items into your bin – often called "wishcycling" – can actually contaminate entire loads, costing our community money and sending otherwise recyclable materials straight to the landfill. Let's work together to avoid contamination!
