Day Three: Saved 5-Gallon Bucket

Day Three: Saved a Five Gallon Bucket from the Landfill

While I was walking around my ‘hood today, there was a 5-gallon bucket laying on the sidewalk to be tossed out. I brought it back to my apartment and will plant something in one of my urban gardens (that’ll be another post).

Here are some other ways you can use the container:

  • Storing tools or gardening supplies in the garage
  • Organizing toys in a child’s room or playroom
  • Carrying and storing cleaning supplies

Did you know that recycling one ton of plastic saves 7.4 cubic yards of landfill space? Get that and more Recycling Facts at Earth911.


What was your simple green act for the day?

    Didn't think of it that way, but I have 362 more to go, so it might come up.
