Turning Trash Into Treasure WASHTENAW COUNTY TRASH TO TREASURE GUIDE WASHTENAW COUNTY SOLID WASTE DIVISION UPDATED 2021 INTRODUCTION You’ve likely heard the phrase, “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.” This is the approach we should take towards consumption and disposal of materials. However, applying this phrase for everything we encounter can be confusing, unclear, or outright inconvenient. What do you do with those old records or that toaster oven that you don't need anymore? What about that expired car battery and the carpet scraps out in the garage? Your old cell phones? This document is not only designed to answer these tricky questions and to help keep your reusable and recyclable materials out of the landfill, but it will also help you start thinking about the value of your objects and purchasing decisions. Can your objects be repaired instead of thrown away? If something is no longer useful to you, is it truly considered trash? Can you buy things that are useful to you without harming the environment? Here you will find creative tips on how to reduce your waste. You will also find a directory of facilities that will repair, reuse, or recycle many of your household items. You'll see how one person's trash may be a valuable resource to someone else. By working together, we can turn our trash into treasure.

Buying brand new items requires resources extraction, typically fossil fuels, excess water and energy use, unregulated labor practices, greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, and a higher upfront cost to the consumer. Additionally, these materials eventually need a place to go, and that is often the landfill where they will emit more greenhouse gasses, take thousands of years to degrade, or leach toxins in our soils and watersheds. Unfortunately, buying new goods is directly tied to environmental degradation; however, we can obtain items still necessary to us in a way that minimizes environmental impact: finding alternatives to new materials through equipment rentals, thrift operations, and online second-hand resources. EQUIPMENT RENTAL Many items we use are only needed occasionally, such as lawn and garden equipment, carpet steamers, power tools, etc. Renting is a great option when working on projects that require specific equipment yet do not require the item long-term. By renting equipment, you are likely saving money and ensuring that you are minimizing the resources it takes to construct new materials. Many services offered in Washtenaw County make renting a cost-effective alternative to buying the items brand new. Another strategy is to encourage tool and equipment sharing in your neighborhood. A great example is the SnowBuddy non-profit, located right in Ann Arbor. Neighbors of the Water Hill neighborhood collectively purchased a commercial snowblower and use volunteers to clear their sidewalks in the winter.

  • Making Paper from Trees
    Making Paper from Trees Forest Service U.S. Department of Agriculture FS-2 MAKING PAPER FROM TREES Paper has been a key factor in the progress of civilization, especially during the past 100 years. Paper is indispensable in our daily life for many purposes. It conveys a fantastic variety and volume of messages and information of all kinds via its use in printing and writing-personal and business letters, newspapers, pamphlets, posters, magazines, mail order catalogs, telephone directories, comic books, school books, novels, etc. It is difficult to imagine the modern world without paper. Paper is used to wrap packages. It is also used to make containers for shipping goods ranging from food and drugs to clothing and machinery. We use it as wrappers or containers for milk, ice cream, bread, butter, meat, fruits, cereals, vegetables, potato chips, and candy; to carry our food and department store purchases home in; for paper towels, cellophane, paper handkerchiefs and sanitary tissues; for our notebooks, coloring books, blotting paper, memo pads, holiday greeting and other “special occasion’’ cards, playing cards, library index cards; for the toy hats, crepe paper decorations, paper napkins, paper cups, plates, spoons, and forks for our parties. Paper is used in building our homes and schools-in the form of roofing paper, and as paperboard- heavy, compressed product made from wood pulp-which is used for walls and partitions, and in such products as furniture. Paper is also used in linerboard, “cardboard,” and similar containers. Wood pulp is the principal fibrous raw material from which paper is made, and over half of the wood cut in this country winds up in some form of paper products.

  • Paper Industry Basics
    PAPER NDUSTRY BASICS Papermaking: Past & Present r Paper identifies a broad range of products which are formed by bonding of many small discrete cellulosic or synthetic fibers into a sheet. The word “paper” is derived from the Egyptian word “papyrus:’ a material which is formed by matting sliced strips of reed together. However, the first production of true paper, a sheet comprised of small individual fibers, is credited to the Chinese in the year 105 A.D. Early papermaking involved the reduc- tion of bark or grass to a fibrous pulp by beating it in a stone mortar. Water was added to create a pulp slurry which was in turn poured into a mould with a porous bottom which allowed the water to drain away. The newly formed sheet was then dried in the sun. Papermaking proceeded in this manner for many centuries. Production, done totally by hand, was very small, but so was demand. However, with Gutenberg’s inven- tion of printing with movable type in 1447, the demand for paper soared. Handforming methods quickly proved inadequate, and a shortage of rags, a prime component of paper at that time, further limited production. name is derived from two brothers named Neither problem was resolved until the Fourdrinier who financed its development. early 19th century. In 1799 the prototype of The fourdrinier, however greatly refined, has today’s fourdrinier machine was invented by not changed in principle since then. a Frenchman named Nicholas Robert. Its Early papermakers had found naturally occurring, relatively pure cellulose fibers in the inner bark of certain trees and in cotton.
