Mission Corner: Sorting for Creation’s Sake

To make that easier, WPC has installed a three-stream receptacle system across our campus, and we’ve invested in fiber-based cups and paper servingware wherever possible, significantly reducing single-use plastics at church events.

How to sort your items:

• Green – Compost: Food + messy paper (napkins, paper towels, pizza boxes). Plain paper cups/plates only.

• Blue – Recycle: Clean paper/cardboard, metal cans, glass bottles/jars, and rigid plastics.

• Gray – Landfill: Everything else.

Please pause before you toss and check the bin signage. A few careful seconds from each of us keeps organics out of landfills, improves recycling quality, and protects the compost stream.

These habits may seem small, but our collective faithfulness adds up for the health of our neighborhoods today and a vibrant, vital earth for generations to come!
