Christmas is lots of fun, but along with all the good times comes lots of waste. You can significantly reduce the amount of stuff that goes to the landfill from your community by taking just a bit of time with your Christmas cleanup. It's tempting to just throw everything in the garbage and forget about it, but by recycling and reusing Christmas extras, you'll start the New Year off on a greener foot, and you can save money too.
