• Every ton of paper recycled conserves 17 mature trees, 6,953 gallons of water, 463 gallons of oil, 587 pounds of air pollution, 3.06 cubic yards of landfill space, 4,077 kilowatt hours of energy. That’s enough energy to power the average American home for five hours!


• Glass never wears out – it can be recycled forever. We save over a ton of resources for every ton of glass recycled – 1,330 pounds of sand, 433 pounds of soda ash, 433 pounds of limestone, and 151 pounds of feldspar.


• Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours -- or the equivalent of a half a gallon of gasoline

Remember, recycling may be easy, yet it makes a huge impact on the environment. So do your part to contributing to the path of going green.
