The average person generates about 6 pounds of trash every day and over a ton of trash every year. The amount of garbage we generate has tripled since the 1960s. About 79% of trash is recyclable but to recycle, we need to sort that garbage properly.

Paper, plastic, aluminum, and glass all require raw materials to produce. Paper comes from trees, aluminum must be mined and 10% of our oil goes to making plastic. Sorting and recycling can save a lot of those resources.

Be ECO WISE - sort your trash properly
