What are the benefits of recycling?

Recycling benefits everyone and everything. Here are a few reasons why:

*Conserves natural resources such as wood, water and minerals

*Saves energy because less energy is used to manufacture brand new products

*Produces less greenhouse gases because industries burn fewer fossil fuel

*Recycling programs cost less than waste disposal programs

*You can receive money for turning in certain recyclable products

*Recycling centers create 4 jobs for every 1 job in the waste disposal industry

*Recycling programs keep 70 tons of waste from being deposited into landfills every year

*Prevents the destruction of natural habitats

*Decreases soil erosion associated with mining and logging

How can you get involved in recycling?

You can be part of the recycling initiative by either recycling products on your own or by joining a recycling program. You can see a complete list of U.S. recycling programs by checking out the Environmental Protection Agency website.
