Never Recycle Bungee Cords
Cords and cables such as bungee cords easily wrap around sorting equipment. This can damage or shut down machinery and create safety hazards for sanitation workers. Be sure to toss your bungee cords once you’re through with them.
Ways to Reduce
Use Rope Instead
The next time you think about buying a bungee cord, consider if rope could be used instead. Common rope is more eco-friendly than bungee cords because the material is renewable and biodegradable. Additionally, rope material won’t be damaged by sunlight as easily as a bungee cord will, giving it a longer life in outdoor applications.
