Despite the recycling claims on the boxes, less than 50% of disposable cameras are recycled.
REDUCE Avoid using single-use disposable cameras. You can buy fully automatic 35mm cameras, which will give better results and cost less than disposables. Or you could buy a digital camera and view your pictures on a screen.
RECYCLE If you buy a disposable camera, be sure to take it to a developer who explicitly promises to recycle the remains.
