Recycle
It can take 5 times the amount of raw materials to produce one ton of a refined material such as aluminum or glass. This waste of resources may be cut by 80% or more if recycled material is used. For this to happen we must separate recyclable materials from the rest of our garbage.

To recycle:

It is often easier to start with one material at a time. Separate glass, paper and plastics from your garbage for one week to determine which material you throw away the most. Obtain a large but easy to handle container, such as a large box or trashcan, and begin separating the most common material regularly. Contact your local city or county government to find the drop off site nearest you. Increase the items you recycle. In no time, recycling can become a very good habit.
