GIGO Diary, for 2008-03-25: Processed food packages recyclable Tucker's Station doesn't generate much processed food package waste, because, the writer says, "I love to cook and I only cook with eal food." But if you must use processed food, most of the packaging is recyclable By Barbara Armitage GIGO Diary of a Recycler: Everyday we are going to follow my garbage to see just how close I can come to eliminating my contribution the landfills in America Today is Tuesday March 25, 2008. Posted 2008-03-26. Click Here for yesterday's GIGO Diary. For the most part there is a type of item missing from our daily garbage. Food packaging. We really have very little of it compared to most families. I want to be completely honest about why, it is not in support of environmental responsibility its simply because I dont eat processed foods. They taste bad. I love to cook and I only cook with real food. If you cant live without a frozen pizza, a box of mac and cheese or your Hamburger Helper thats OK just remember that the containers are recyclable. Food boxes like those that your cereal and frozen food come in are known as flat cardboard or paperboard and recyclable at the Adair County Recycling Center. Every ton of cardboard recycled saves:
Buying fresh can mean no packaging at all. Fresh fruits and vegetables only require the packaging that nature gave them. Resist the urge to use those plastic bags provided in the the produce department of grocery stores. They dont provide any extra protection for the product and only add to the cost. FACT: $1 out of every $11 Americans spend for food goes for packaging. Here's what happened to the rest of the day's garbage. Recycle
The next largest will go to the Adair Recycling Center, 62 Service Road, Columbia, KY. Only a tiny amount will go into the landfill. REMINDER: Adair County Community Pride clean-up day is Saturday, April 12, 2008. A big day of clean up, food, fun, prizes and surprises starts at the Adair Annex at 8:00am for breakfast doughnuts, coffee and juice, pep rally, assignments and sign-in, and with a celebration lunch and Keep Adair County Clean rally at Mt.
