ABOUT US

In an effort to raise awareness of resource conservation issues without increasing the waste associated with the over printing of such materials, HC3 has chosen to post our publications here for you to read- and print.  We encourage you to print these double-sided and on post-consumer recycled content paper- or on the back sides of already used paper. 

We also print small amounts of each of these publications (unless otherwise noted) and have them on-hand at our events and booths. 

We welcome your input on publications that you would like to see us produce- as well as your feedback on those you find here. 

The Green Cleaning Guide
Our most popular publication to date, this booklet is full of recipes, tips, and resources for making your own cleaning products, largely from ingredients you already have in your home.  The Guide has been updated since its original printing, so the version you get here is the latest and greatest out there.  As it is a large document, we have broken it into sections so that the download time is not so long: 

Introduction(complete with new important information on cleaning green!)
General Home
Bathroom
Kitchen
Laundry
Outdoors & Garage
Ending Considerations(Includes our list of ingredients to avoid and resources for more information)

Summit County Recycling Sorting Guide
A breakdown of what can be recycled in Summit County. 

Backyard Composting Fact Sheet
A brief but rather thorough explanation of how to compost. 

Worm Composting Fact Sheet
An overview of how to compost with worms, complete with where to get Red Wigglers. 

High Country Conservation Center Brochure
An explanation of who HC3 is with an overview of our projects.
