Jumping on those Presidents’ Day sales to upgrade your mattress? Don’t just toss the old one. Mattresses are NOT accepted for trash disposal in MA. They’re largely made up of recyclable materials and are too good for the trash!
Pro Tip: If you’re in the market for a mattress and love reuse as much as we do, consider buying a gently used one from @handupmattress in New Bedford! https://handupmattress.com/
➡️Check with your city/town for information on proper disposal.

We hate to bring up breakups this close to Valentine’s Day, but when it comes to single-use plastic, it’s time to call it quits. They`re only used once, but stay in our environment for a long, long time. There are better options out there!
🙅♀️Refuse single-use stuff when you can, like opting out of utensils with your food delivery.
🔄Bring your own reusable alternatives on the go, like water bottles, coffee cups, and shopping bags.
🛒See if your favorite store has a bulk section where you can stock up on stuff in refillable containers. Or go for stuff that isn`t individually wrapped.
🥪Replace baggies and cling wrap with reusable alternatives.
Shoutout to UN Environment Programme for the inspiration: youtube.com/watch?v=-DEc16dEMns
Check out our newsletter from the archives for more ways to say ""it`s not me, it`s you"" to single-use stuff: link in bio.
