National Recycling Week

National Recycling Week aims to showcase various recycling programs and ways to get involved.

Recycling is a complex and costly option. For recycling to work, residents need to know what to put in their recycling bin and what to take to recycling programs. Businesses need to design, produce, take back recyclable materials and reprocess them into post-consumer recyclable products. Businesses also must commit to using post-consumer recycled materials in the production of new items.

To make recycling work, we need to buy items made with recycled material to create the demand.
