It鈥檚 a new year and a new opportunity for us all to do our part to help protect the environment. Recycling is something we can all do every day, and every effort counts.
Let鈥檚 each pledge to place all bottles, cans, paper, and cardboard in our recycling bins.
Recycling collection drivers deliver our recyclables to local facilities. Once separated by type, the materials get compacted into bales and shipped to mills to be made into new products and packaging. It鈥檚 the recycling loop in action, and it starts with each of us.
Recycling keeps materials out of landfills and saves resources, including trees, energy, and water. Recycling also reduces emissions and helps create green jobs.
Those are all good things. Recycling also helps achieve additional benefits, including protecting precious ecosystems.
A healthy environment benefits all. Let鈥檚 increase recycling and respect this beautiful environment we call home.
Let no paper go to landfill. Empty all soda cans and shake out food containers to keep recycling bin contents clean and dry.
These simple actions help us recycle more, and it feels good to do the right thing.
