Adair Co. Recycling Center sends tips for fall, Thanksgiving

By Lisa Lee, Adair County Judge Executive Administrative Assistant

Good morning.

Grass clippings and shredded leaves make excellent mulch. Pile shredded leaves deep around your shrubbery, as well as in and around any plants you want to overwinter in pots.

Where possible, compost leftover food scraps, leaves, and grass clippings. Show your guests where to put recyclables such as aluminum, glass, and plastic beaverages containers.



After parties, fill your dishwasher to capacity before running it. You will run fewer cycles which saves energy.

If you host a pary, set the table with cloth napkins and reusable dishes, glasses, and silverware.

Wash and reuse empty glass and plastic jars, milk jugs, coffee cans, dairy tubs, and other similar containers that would otherwise get thrown away. These containers can be used to store leftovers as well as buttons, nails, or other loose items, If you going away from home for the holdiays, to save energy, turn down your thermostat and put lights on timers.

November is an excellent time of year to conduct neighborhood food or clothing drives to help those in need.

Have a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
