Recycling Home Products

Recycling begins at home. If you have curbside pickup, it's easy to sort out plastic, glass, aluminum, and paper scraps from the trash stream. Recycling not only saves space at the landfill - it also saves energy and prevents pollution because recycled commodities don't have to be produced again. For example, it takes as much effort to mine, refine, and produce a single new aluminum can as it does to recycle 99 aluminum cans.
