Eco-friendly water delivery suggestions

• Choose 5-gallon water bottles. An average family of three will save about 4750 single use water bottles per year with this waste free option.
• Only use 5-gallon water bottles for water to keep them contaminant-free for reuse and recycling.
• Leave the caps on 5-gallon water bottles for recycling.
• Recycle one-gallon and 2.5-gallon bottles curbside, including the cardboard box in which they are shipped.
• Recycle 20oz and 16.9oz water bottles with the cap on tightly, and take the shrink wrap packaging to a grocery store with plastic bag recycling bins (available at Heinens, Giant Eagle, Drug Mart, and Target).
• Choose a monthly delivery schedule rather than a bi-weekly water delivery service to reduce fuel consumption.

• Rent a refurbished water cooler instead of buying a new one.
• Use a refillable water bottle instead of disposable ones.
