The holiday season is filled with sparkling decorations, beautifully wrapped packages, get-togethers with family and friends — and plenty of waste.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, each American produces approximately 4.4 pounds of waste every day, but there are easy ways to reduce this number and to recycle much of what we can’t avoid wasting.

Check out PRC’s Holiday Greening Guide to create a more meaningful and waste-free holiday season.

The guide includes a resources section to connect you with a variety of organizations and it offers options for recycling electronics.

Discover creative ideas for wrapping presents, feeding your guests, and cleaning up after the party.
