Top 10 Reasons to Recycle

1). American companies rely on recycling programs to provide raw materials to make new products.
2). Recycling in the United States is a $236 billion a year industry that employs 1.1 million workers.
3). The average American discards 7.5 pounds of garbage every day, most of which goes into landfills.
4). Recycling requires far less energy, uses fewer natural resources and keeps waste from piling up in landfills.
5). Recycling offers significant energy savings over manufacturing with virgin materials.
6). Recycling preserves existing landfill space.
7). Recycling reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which cuts down on global warming.
8). Making goods from recycled material generates less water pollution than manufacturing virgin materials.
9). Using recycled materials reduces the need to damage forests, wetlands, rivers and other places important to wildlife.
10). Recycling and buying recycled products create demand for more recycled products, which helps the economy.
