Eco-friendly water delivery suggestions

• Don’t use your 5-gallon water bottles for anything other than water. We reuse 5-gallon water bottles dozens of times and recycle them at the end of their life. For this to happen, they must remain contaminant-free. 
• Leave the caps on 5-gallon water bottles for recycling.
• Recycle one 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. Please take the shrink wrap packaging to a grocery store with plastic bag recycling bins. This service is 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. 

• Choose to rent a refurbished water cooler rather than buy a new one. 
• Use a refillable water bottle rather than disposable options. 
• Opt for paperless billing. 
• Enroll in our auto bill pay program.
• Conserve water at home with these 23 ideas.

Follow these water sustainability solutions and you can enjoy safe, fresh-tasting hydration with a reduced carbon footprint!
