Reuse the recyclable.

Angela Kim Dec 6, 2010

A lot of recyclable items — those tan coffee filters, for instance — can be used more than once (sometimes more than twice) before recycling them. Just dump the coffee ground in the compost, and either put the filter back in the pot to use again, or — if you’re a neatnik, rinse it and hang it up to dry before reuse.

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you. 

You rely on Marketplace to break down the world’s events and tell you how it affects you in a fact-based, approachable way. We rely on your financial support to keep making that possible. 

Your donation today powers the independent journalism that you rely on. For just $5/month, you can help sustain Marketplace so we can keep reporting on the things that matter to you.
