With so many great reasons to recycle, what's yours?
- To prevent materials that have economic value from going to waste.
- To expand the lifespan of our landfill.
- To conserve natural resources such as timber, water, and minerals.
- To create jobs! For every job collecting recyclables, there are 26 jobs in processing the materials and manufacturing them into new products.
- To prevent pollution. Manufacturing with recycled materials, with very few exceptions, produces less air and water pollution than manufacturing with virgin materials.
- To save you money. Each additional trash container comes at a cost. You can reduce the need for additional containers by recycling.
