Whether you are Irish or not, St. Patrick's Day is a day where almost everyone and everything can be found in green. From the clothes we wear to the foods we eat and the decorations we hang (and even possibly the budding of the leaves on our trees), shades of green are evident everywhere you turn on this day each year. And if you aren't already "greened" out just by thinking about it, did you know that this day can get even greener? Below are a few ways that you can continue to go green - and by green we mean eco-friendly - for St. Patrick's Day this year:

1. Recycle Beverage Cans: It's no surprise that St. Patrick's Day celebrations are often accompanied by an array of different drinks, but that just means there is that much more to recycle! Whether you're having a party at home or celebrating out with friends, be sure to properly dispose of any beverage cans when you're done.
2. Avoid Litter: If you plan to attend the St. Patrick's Day parade in NYC this year, make it a priority to seek out waste bins near where you plan to watch from. Although there might not be one in close proximity to you, the extra steps and effort are worth it.
3. DIY: When it comes to your decorations and your outfit for the day, see how much you can do yourself before heading out to buy. By being creative, you can save money and the planet too!

Here at Boro Wide Recycling, we wish you all a very safe and happy St. Patrick's Day and encourage you to take the above tips with you wherever you go to celebrate. And if you have another way that you plan to amp up your 'green' factor this year, be sure to visit us on Facebook and Twitter to share it with us!
