The U.S has become a throw away society. If it breaks you throw it away. If it is outdated, it's tossed in the dump. How sad to think of all the things going into our landfills could be used by someone else.
Cloverleaf Farm recycles everything. We use and reuse everything. If something will have a purpose anywhere on the farm, it goes into the barn. Unless it will serve us no future purpose, it gets stored for a new life.
Jars store nails, screw, nuts and bolts.
Yogurt containers are saved to use as scoops in the animal feed.
Old clothes become rags for cleaning.
Old boards become fences for the pigs.
Now granted, there are some things that we can't recycle. Those go to the dump in the appropriate bin. For things that break that we can't fix, they go to the dump in the reuse pile for someone else to take.
We add less to the dump, which helps us all.
