Why Recycle?
Recycling offers a wide range of benefits for the environment, the economy, and communities. By turning used materials into new products, recycling reduces the need to extract raw resources such as metals, timber, and fresh water, helping conserve habitats and protect wildlife. It also cuts down on the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators, which lowers pollution and decreases the release of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.

In many cases, manufacturing products from recycled materials uses significantly less energy than producing them from virgin resources, leading to substantial energy savings over time. Economically, recycling supports local and regional job creation in collection, sorting, and processing facilities, and those wages often stay within the community, strengthening local economies. Communities that embrace recycling tend to be cleaner and healthier, with less litter and fewer harmful substances entering soil and waterways. Recycling programs can also encourage people to think more carefully about consumption, waste, and sustainable living, fostering a sense of shared responsibility for the planet. Over time, these small individual actions add up, helping ensure that valuable materials remain in use instead of being lost as trash. In this way, recycling plays an important role in building a more sustainable future for current and future generations.
