Recycle Right!
Honor Earth Month by learning how to Recycle Right and help keep Albuquerque beautiful.
This April, Keep Albuquerque Beautiful and the City’s Solid Waste Management Department celebrating Earth Month by launching the Recycle Right Campaign, focused on educating Albuquerque residents on proper recycling habits.
When we recycle, our used materials are transported to a facility where they are sorted and distributed to companies that turn them into new products.
Recycling plays a huge part in reducing the amount of waste that ends up in the landfill and helps create a more sustainable community overall.
