Stop the holiday trash

This holiday season try to put a little more green in your spirit.

The Winston-Salem Journal reports that 60 percent of citizens in the town of Clemmons exceed their 96-gallon containers every year. Some households dispose of more than 250 pounds of garbage after Christmas. All this extra waste really adds up!

Wrapping paper, packaging, Christmas trees and greeting cards account for most of the refuse. The best ways to limit excessive trash are to reduce, reuse and recycle.
