THD And The Environment

Recycling

We are committed to recycling in our own operations, as well as making it easier for you, our customers, to recycle in your communities. We use recycled materials for our shopping bags, signage, and office supplies. We recycle all of our corrugated cardboard and wood pallets. We also have a program that keeps drywall separators out of our landfills by recycling them into useable product.

The Home Depot recognizes that recycling is a lifetime commitment that requires effort every day of every year. We'll continue to recycle and support companies that use recycled content. We hope you do, too.

Your Commitment to Recycling
The "3 R's" of being a smart consumer are easy to remember and put into practice:

• Reduce: Buy only what you need and there's less to throw away.
• Reuse: Buy durable, long-lasting products that can be used repeatedly, or disposable alternatives that reduce resource consumption.
• Recycle: From used aluminum grills to scrap wood, give new life to your castoffs and keep them out of landfills and incinerators.

Following these simple guidelines can have enormous environmental impact including reduced consumption of raw materials and energy, less waste, fewer landfills, and less pollution.
