The Impact of Recycling on Resources

Recycling not only conserves energy—reducing the energy needed to create new products by 80–95%—but also preserves essential resources. Recycling contributes to the preservation of trees, essential for air purification and oxygen production, and lessens the need for limited resources such as oil, sand, limestone, and metals like aluminum, extracted through environmentally harmful processes. Support our mission and our commitment to a sustainable future by adopting recycling habits. Together, we can make a significant difference in conserving energy and resources for future generations.

Simplifying Your Recycling Experience

Our job is to make your daily and weekly recycling experience hassle-free. This is a lifestyle change, and we want to help you make it go as smoothly as possible. Here is a list of items that we accept and do not accept for recycling for various reasons. We have multiple-size containers for residential and commercial services. Our 15, 45, and 96-gallon bin containers are very efficient and easy to maneuver. We are now set up for a single stream, which means there is no longer a need to separate your recycling! For all residential customers, your 45-gallon recycling container should contain milk jugs, plastic bottles, steel cans, aluminum cans, clear and colored glass bottles, and other similar items, as well as all paper products such as newspapers, magazines, cardboard, cereal boxes, and junk mail. Yes, all in one recycling container! Please make sure all recyclable items are washed out the best you can, and please crush down your milk jugs and 2-liter plastic bottles. Thanks!

Fun Recycling Facts

Discover these intriguing recycling facts that highlight the impact and potential of recycling in our everyday lives:

  • 60 days is how quickly an aluminum can be collected, transported for recycling, melted down, made into a new can, refilled, and placed back on the grocer’s shelf.
  • The U.S. EPA estimates that 75 percent of what Americans throw in the trash could actually be recycled.
  • Americans go through 25 billion plastic bottles every year.
  • The junk mail Americans receive in one day could produce enough energy to heat 250,000 homes.
  • Americans use 100 million tin and steel cans every day.
  • Americans throw away enough aluminum every month to rebuild our entire commercial air fleet.
  • An aluminum can that is thrown away will still be a can 500 years from now.
  • There is no limit to the number of times an aluminum can be recycled.
  • Recycling a single run of the Sunday New York Times would save 75,000 trees.
  • The average household throws away 13,000 separate pieces of paper each year. Most are packaging and junk mail.
  • Each ton (2000 pounds) of recycled paper can save 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, three cubic yards of landfill space, 4000 kilowatts of energy, and 7000 gallons of water. This represents a 64% energy savings, 58% water savings, and 60 pounds less air pollution.
  • Americans use 2,500,000 plastic bottles every hour. Most of them are thrown away.
  • An estimated 80,000,000 Hershey’s Kisses are wrapped each day, using enough aluminum foil to cover over 50 acres of space—that’s almost 40 football fields. All that foil is recyclable, but not many people realize it.

Combat Global Warming: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Landfilling significantly contributes to global warming as trash decomposes, producing methane, a potent greenhouse gas. In contrast, burning waste not only circumvents the need for landfills but also generates power. Although it requires more volume to produce the same energy as coal, incinerating trash drastically reduces the greenhouse effect compared to landfilling. Each ton of waste can release an equivalent of 62 m3 of methane during decomposition, which has more than twice the global warming potential of CO2 produced by incineration. Given the environmental impact of waste disposal, it's essential to minimize waste generation. Start making a difference today by reducing, reusing, and recycling—join us in our efforts to protect the planet.
