Why Recycling Is Important and How You Can Help
- Discarding reusable materials is avoidable.
- An assured supply of recovered materials will help develop and sustain markets for those materials.
- Recycling makes materials available so we can buy products and packaging that have as much recycled content as possible.
- A product's reusability moves us toward sustainability.
- Recycling reduces dependency on imported, virgin, and non-renewable resources.
- Recycling reduces the tonnage we have to haul to our regional landfill.
- Recycling reduces what you throw away, which may lower your garbage bill.
