City of Tucson Environmental Services’ Recycling 101 Workshop focuses on the waste we make, what we do with it, and how we can make better choices at home, at work, and in our community.

We will learn everything we need to know about recycling paper, metal, plastic, and glass in the City of Tucson. We’ll also explore how to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle it Right, and highlight additional Responsible Rs, like Refuse, Rot, Repurpose, and more! Finally, we’ll learn about a variety of Waste Diversion options and how to properly dispose of Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) to better understand how to live more sustainably in the City of Tucson.
