REDUCE - REUSE- RECYLE
Recycling requires a small amount of time, yet offers substantial and rewarding benefits to our community, county, and country.
Did you know if you throw put your aluminum can in the trash it will sit in a landfill for roughly 500 years!! If you recycle, it will be back on the shelf for re-purchase in 90 days!!!
About 75% of the items you throw into a trashcan could be put in the recycle bin.
