WHY RECYCLING IS IMPORTANT

Our community, like thousands of others across America, is running out of sanitary landfill space. On a national and global scale, society as a whole is consuming valuable natural resources, some of which are non-renewable.

Our recycling program gives each of us a way to conserve landfill space by reducing the volume of waste that is buried in the ground. It also helps us ease the burden on our natural resources b y recycling old materials, such as paper, into new products. Any by recycling, we save energy and extend the life of our coal, oil, and natural gas reserves.

In a typical community, each family generates about 60 pounds of recoverable newspaper, cardboard, glass, plastic, tin and aluminum every month. Subtract that bulk volume from our local landfill, and it's easy to see that participation - by you and your neighbors - in this program can make a real difference.

Every can of bottle that you recycle is part of a long-range step toward easing the waste crisis we hear about in the news. Your participation in this recycling effort is the cornerstone of a movement that starts here, at home, but that will have a positive, worldwide impact as more and more people make the decision to recycle.
