Recycling Facts!



Maspeth, NY 718-416-1656 


Here are some Recycling Facts from DoSomething.org  you probably didn't know!

The average person generates over 4 pounds of trash every day! That = 1.5 tons of solid waste per year!
In 2009, Americans alone produced enough trash to circle the Earth 24 times!

Over 75% of waste is recyclable. Unfortunately, we only actually recycle about 30% of it.
Americans throw away 25 million plastic bottles every hour!

If every American just recycled 1/10 of their newspapers, we could save 25 million trees a year!

Now that you've seen these outrageous facts, Boro-Wide Recycling hopes you think twice about throwing that bottle in the garbage. A little recycling from everyone can go a long way!

Let us know what you recycled today, on our Facebook page! Remember to follow us @borowide on Twitter as well!
