Why Recycling Matters
Millions of Americans participate in curbside recycling programs — and that’s great news for future generations. Recycling reduces landfill waste, conserves natural resources, and saves energy. But did you know that only specific items can be recycled curbside? Or, that if you put non-recyclable items in your container you could actually prevent an entire truckload from being recycled?
Contamination is a very real concern for recycling. Since these programs are funded by the ability to resell the recycled materials, quality matters. Things like food, yard clippings, diapers, and battery acid compromise everything they come in contact with. So, if you want your recycling efforts to really make a difference, remember that sometimes, less is more.
