Spring Cleaning Season is Here !
As the weather warms and you start to take on Spring cleaning projects , here are a few things to remember when cleaning up sustainably !
� Reduce plastic waste by reusing plastic spray bottles with homemade cleaners
� Ditch the paper towels — use old t-shirts or towels instead !
� Reuse and repurpose unwanted items around the house .
� An old toothbrush can be a great scrubber for hard-to-reach corners !
� Repurpose old boxes and containers to help organize around the house .
� Donate items that are fit for rehoming !
� Add a recycling bin next to your trash can to help keep unwanted items separated !
� Drop off acceptable items at Coshocton County ’ s 12 Recyclable Drop-off sites !

Big Coshocton Clean Up — A BIG Success !
The Big Coshocton Clean Up was held this past weekend on Saturday , April 9th . The weather left something to be desired , throwing a mix of rain , sleet , and wind at the volunteers throughout the day . But in true Coshocton spirit , around 75 volunteers turned up to clean up an estimated :
