Leftovers

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Recycle as much as possible

Paper, plastic, glass and aluminum containers are all eligible. For a complete list of what’s recyclable visit the Recycling page of this web site.

Reuse your leftovers

Save bones to make flavorful stock and keep necks and giblets for gravy.

Reduce waste by composting

If you don’t already have a compost bin, use your Thanksgiving fruit and vegetable trimmings to start one. The compost will enrich the soil in your garden next spring. Visit the Zero Waste section of this website for steps on how to start a compost bin.
