Ordering online is convenient, but it has one big disadvantage: all that packaging waste! And even if you avoid shipping and make the trek to a local store, you'll probably still walk away with some nonrecyclable plastic bags, wraps, cardboard, etc. Luckily, you can make sure these don't end up in landfill with services such as TerraCycle—a company that allows you to send in otherwise unrecyclable material to be reused into new goods. Look for their free recycling programs across the country.
