Why Recycle?

Recycling extends the life of our existing landfills by diverting
recyclable from the waste stream.
Recycling saves energy and natural resources.
Recycling prevents pollution by providing alternative waste
disposal methods for recyclable materials, rather than back
yard burning and illegal dumping.
Recycling minimizes disposal costs for refuse haulers and
citizens.
Recycling creates jobs and revenue for the community.


                Fun but Important Facts:

The EPA estimates that 75% of what Americans throw in the
trash could actually be recycled.  Currently only 25% is
recycled.
Incinerating 10,000 tons of waste creates one job; landfilling
10,000 tons of waste creates six jobs; recycling 10,000 tons of
waste creates 36 jobs.
Each ton of paper recycled saves 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil,
three cubic yards of landfill space, 4,000 kilowatts of energy
and 7,000 gallons of water.
One tree can filter up to 60 pounds of pollutants from the air
each year.
Recycling one aluminum can saves the energy equivalent of
one cup of gas, 16 cans saves one gallon.
The energy saved by recycling 1 ton of aluminum equals the
amount of electricity used by a typical home in 10 years.
The national recycling rate of 30% saves the equivalent of
more than five billion gallons of gas, reducing dependence on
foreign oil by 114 million barrels.  This could be even higher!!

Important Facts About Burn Barrels:                      

 Burn Barrels burn at low temps, with poor combustion and  no
pollution controls and as a result, generate different kinds of
toxins.  The smoke from burning garbage contains toxic
compounds often including dioxin, furans and other
carcinogens.  Dioxins, for example, are among the most toxic
man-made chemicals in our environment.  A single burn barrel
can generate as much dioxin as a municipal incinerator serving
thousands of households.
