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!
