Fun Facts:

A used aluminum can is recycled and back on the grocery shelf as a new can in as little as 60 days.

Approximately 1 billion trees worth of paper are thrown away every year in the U.S.

A modern glass bottle would take 4000 years or more to decompose-and even longer if it's in the landfill.

What's In Your Trash?

31% of waste consists of paper.

25% is glass, metals, and plastics.

44% consists of food waste, organics, and other materials.
