5 Easy Ways to Reduce Waste in the Kitchen

Priority Waste Reduce Waste in the Kitchen

The kitchen is usually one of the busiest areas in the house – and one of the biggest waste-producing spaces. Anything food related is going to generate refuse. The good news is that there are easy ways to reduce kitchen garbage so your household can live cleaner and greener.

  • Pack Lunches and Leftovers in Reusable Containers – You may be tempted to toss lunches or leftovers in resealable bags or pieces of foil or plastic wrap. Instead, put them in reusable containers that don’t go in the trash after one use.
  • Return Egg Cartons to Retails or Farmer’s Markets – Egg cartons can often be returned to stores or farmer’s markets to be used again. This type of packaging is usually pretty sturdy, so it’s worth using more than once.
  • Switch to Cloth Napkins Instead of Disposable Paper Napkins – Switch to cloth napkins that can be washed after meals. This will reduce waste and ensure that you never run out of napkins (as long as you do the laundry).
  • Use Rags or Reusable Paper Towels to Clean Up – Don’t reach for a paper towel when there is a spill. Instead, use a rag or reusable paper towel. The reusable version is made of cloth and usually button on to the roll so you can store it just like the paper kind.
  • Avoid Prepackaged Foods as Much as Possible – Prepackaged foods are notorious waste producers because of excess packaging. Avoid these as much as possible.

Coat drive will provide warmth to Utica Community Schools students

As the thermometer begins to move into record lows, area community leaders are working to distribute nearly 1,400 new coats to families in need.

The 1,383 new coats and more than $6,000 in monetary donations stem from a “Coats for Kids” community drive for Utica Community Schools students. The drive was sponsored by the district, Shelby Township, the cities of Sterling Heights and Utica and through local business Antolin Shelby, the township’s largest employer.

“Great partnerships produce great results,” Superintendent Dr. Christine Johns said. “Teachers, administrators, parents and community leaders are modeling for students what is great about our school district and the communities we call home. Service and volunteerism are the very essence of our community.”

The successful community coat drive began to take shape when Antolin Shelby opened its new, state-of-the-art 360,000 square-foot automotive international manufacturing facility.

Antolin Shelby General Manager and Utica Community Schools graduate – Joe McCluskey II – initiated the idea of a community coat drive as part of the business opening.

“This community is like a family and I am honored to live in Shelby Township where families join together to help one another,” McCluskey said. “I am especially proud of the Antolin Shelby employees who rose to the challenge to donate coats, hats and gloves and also helped with the coat collections, sorting and packing for distribution.”

Working with Shelby Township Supervisor Richard Stathakis, the Coats for Kids drive expanded into the cities of Utica and Sterling Heights and featured more than ten drop sites throughout the community.

The drive was held from mid-November through January 4.

“Thank you to the residents of Shelby Township, Sterling Heights and Utica for your generous support in this endeavor,” Township Supervisor Rick Stathakis. “A special thanks, also, to Antolin Shelby General Manager Joe McCluskey for creating and leading the team on this project, Utica Community Schools Superintendent Dr. Christine Johns for her very strong support, including leading and coordinating the distribution efforts, and Mayors Michael Taylor and Thom Dionne for their support in helping to make this a significant, regional event.”

“This is an excellent example of how much good can result from collaboration by our cities, schools and businesses,” said Sterling Heights Mayor Michael C. Taylor. “I’m grateful to every single person who chose to donate this year and hope we can make this an annual coat drive to help those who really need it the most.”

In addition to drop off centers, a number of businesses also made direct donations to support the drive: Gene D’Agostini, D’Agostini Companies; Todd Stamper, Priority Waste; Paul LaFrance, Express Employment Professionals; Lara Shovlin, Helping Hands Gifts and an anonymous donor to the Neighbors and Friends of Sterling Heights.

Coats have been delivered to Utica Community Schools over the past week and are being organized by student service leadership groups at its 25 elementary school for distribution to families.

“It is amazing how we are taught about service at an early age,” said Duncan Elementary sixth grader Soren Wierbicki, president of the school’s Student Council and a member of the Duncan Community Crew. “Learning to give back to others allows you to create good habits and social skills and makes you a better person.”

Priority Waste Is Proud to Help Out the Community with Coats for Kids
