WHY RECYCLE?
TO SAVE NATURAL RESOURCES
- For each ton of recycled glass used to make new glass, nine gallons of fuel are saved.
- When paper is made from recycled fibers, 58 percent less water is used - compared to making paper from raw materials.
TO SAVE ENERGY
- One aluminum can saves enough energy to power a television set for one hour.
- Two gallons of used motor oil has enough energy to power the average home for 24 hours.
TO SAVE LANDFILL SPACE
- It cost tax payers millions of dollars to construct new landfills. The less that goes into a landfill, the longer it will last.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
- REDUCE the amount of waste you make.
- REUSE as many products and packages as possible.
- RECYCLE every possible material.
To complete the recycling process, BUY RECYCLED products and those packaged in recycle material.
