Valentine’s Day is a time to cherish the relationships we have, but have you thought about how to dispose of the waste this day creates. The US population spent 27.4 billion dollars on Valentine’s Day in 2020. 2 billion dollars on flowers, 2.4 billion on candy and chocolates, and 1.3 billion on cards. Do you know what to do with these items after enjoying them? Flowers can be composted or placed in your yard waste cart. Better yet, purchase a living plant that can be enjoyed longer than cut flowers. If you are not one to keep Valentine’s Day cards, these can be recycled. Candy and chocolate boxes can be recycled if made out of paper or cardboard, with plastic tray removed and placed in the trash.

We love seeing these stories from our little fans. "Big thanks to our Georgetown El Dorado Disposal trash truck guy (as my toddlers call him). We look forward to trash day every week because if they’re awake from their naps they jump and screech with excitement seeing him honk and wave as he drives by! It’s the most exciting thing for them I’ve ever seen and I want to say thank you for giving that experience to them every time they see you. Their dad is a firefighter so they get to see fire engines often but they think trash trucks are the coolest thing ever Here’s to hoping you’re on this page trash truck guy, we appreciate you!"
