Living Green in Bell

It's the season for getting organized and freshening up your home. These ideas will help you put the "green" in "clean!"

  1. As you clear clutter from cabinets, closets and drawers, recycle used clothing and blankets by donating to the Bell Food Station and Clothing Depot. Click here for information on what and how to donate.
  2. Make sure to dispose of household hazardous and e-waste properly. Click here to learn more.
  3. To avoid toxic chemicals, make your own household cleaners from earth-friendly alternatives like baking soda, lemon juice, vinegar, and club soda.
  4. Use old clothing and sheets for dusting and cleaning rags, rather than paper towels. Also, recycled newspapers are great for streak-free cleaning of glass.
  5. Let your clothes dry naturally by installing a clothesline.
  6. Clean nature's way! Houseplants help clean your indoor air by absorbing toxic chemicals.
