Follow The 3 R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

R3 reminds you to follow the 3 R’s--Reduce, Reuse and Recycle! R3 is Central Virginia Waste Management Authority’s (CVWMA)recycling mascot and CVWMA is Central Virginia’s Recycling Authority. Many communities throughout Virginia and the U.S. have recycling programs in place. But, recycling is just one part of the equation. Reducing, reusing and recycling go hand in hand to help us all improve our environment.

Recycle – as much as you can by collecting recyclable materials to be picked up at the curb or taken to a drop-off location and made into new products.
