Being "zero waste" means that we adopt steps towards reducing personal waste and minimizing our environmental impact.

Our community places a major focus on the 5 R's: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. We practice this by reducing consumption, choosing reusable goods, recycling, composting, and helping each other improve.

We also recognize excess CO₂, other GHG emissions, and general resource usage as waste.

I agree but man the folks in my condo do not pay attention to what can be recycled. Not only do they not clean it but they think dirty cake and pizza containers can go right in. Combine that with the lack of seperation and I can't believe the paper can come in shape to be recycled if its from our place.
