Environment
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Save the environment, save money and do the right thing. Recycle!
By: Christie Bohm Chase, Staff Writer
For years, we have been hearing that
recycling saves the environment, but it
also saves money, and improves our
quality of life. November 15th is America
Recycles Day, which serves to inform and
remind Americans about the importance
of and ease of recycling. In an effort to do
our part to help promote the recycling
movement, we have compiled the
following information to help our readers
do their part!
Recycling History
Recycling is one of the most successful
environmental efforts that our nation has
taken on. Currently, over half of the U.S.
population is receiving curbside
collection, and almost all of the
population has access to recycling drop-
off centers. During the past 15 years we
have doubled the amount that we recycle,
and now the United States recycles about
30% of all of the waste we produce.
Recycling efforts have been going on a
lot longer than most of us realize. Prior to
the Great Depression, 70% of U.S. cities
ran recycling programs that focused on
reusing items and reducing waste. After
the 1960’s, advances in science and
technology have allowed
environmentalists to more accurately
access the state of the environment and
the impact that recycling has on it. This
information and awareness has helped
bring recycling to the forefront of our
lives.
Although recycling efforts have
increased, the waste we produce each
year has increased at a faster rate. From
disposable diapers to single serving food
wrappers, it is estimated that each person
produces seven and a half pounds of
trash each day. Our landfills are reaching
maximum capacity and our natural
resources are stressed under our growing
garbage. By recycling and reusing
aluminum, paper, glass, plastics and
other materials, we save on production
and energy costs which is better for our
air, land, water and our health.
Recycling Cycle
Recycling is a process that is broken
into a three part cycle: Collection,
manufacturing and buying. The easily
recognizable logo for recycling is a circle
of three arrows, which represent the three
stages of the recycling process.
During the collection process materials
are collected and then separated and
prepared to become reusable material.
Different cities have different methods for
collecting materials. Some parts of the
U.S. are highly proactive in collection
efforts and mandate curbside pickup.
Other cities ask citizens to separate
recyclable material and drop it off at
designated centers. After the garbage
arrives at the recycling center, the plant
then sorts the garbage, cleans it and
prepares it for reuse. In the
manufacturing stage, companies that
want the materials, remanufacture the
waste into reusable consumer products.
Initially, companies often have to spend a
significant amount of money to adapt
their manufacturing process to
incorporate the use of recycled materials
into their products. This manufacturing
cost increase is sometimes reflected in a
slightly higher cost for recycled products.
If more and more people buy recycled
products, more and more companies will
have to make an effort to use recyclable
materials, and the prices of recycled
products will drop and become
competitive. The third step in the
recycling process is buying. In order for
recycling to become economically viable,
consumers have to purchase recycled
products. If we buy them, then companies
will be forced to make them, and the cycle
is complete.
Rules of Recycling
Each community has its own
guidelines for how and what can be
recycled. To find out what recycling
services your neighborhood offers,
contact the local public works department,
or recycling organization. Here are some
general guidelines for making recycling at
home easier and more efficient, which
keeps recycling costs down.
• Rinse cans
• Keep cardboard boxes in a dry
place
• Separate garbage by type
• Remove tape and labels from
recyclable materials
• Do not recycle paper that has
had wax or food on it
Re-new
Recyclable items:
tin cans, aluminum cans,
newspaper, magazines,
phone books, plastic
beverage bottles, milk jugs,
glass bottles, and jars, cereal
boxes and cardboard.
Non- Recyclable items:
plastic grocery bags,
styrofoam, light bulbs, food-
soiled paper, wax paper,
ceramics
Curious about what recycled
materials become in their next
life? Here are a few of the many
items that our trash can become
• Glass bottles can become
roads, marbles, tile and
surfboards
• Plastic drink bottles can be
turned into rugs, goggles,
park benches and fiber for
filling blankets and jackets
• Aluminum cans can become
new cars, bikes, appliances,
and cookware
