Used paper towels are usually soiled in food or grease. Dispose of paper towels by placing them in the garbage cart.

Ways to Reduce
Choose Unbleached Paper Products
Most paper products that are white or decorative have been chemically bleached and dyed. Opt for undyed, unbleached paper products to reduce the chemical exposure for you and the environment.
Switch to Unpaper Towels
Cut down on waste by making the switch to unpaper towels, or reusable towels made from cotton or linen. You can even wrap them around a paper towel dispenser for easy access.
