I hope you’re ready to recycle because November 15 is National Recycling Day and we’re making sure nothing gets turned into waste

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL RECYCLING DAY

  1. Join An Event

    Recycling events can be surprisingly fun (and educational). For instance, an event in Missouri involves making bracelets from plastic shopping bags, doing a composting activity, and building something out of recycled goods. Look for events in your area, bring your friends, and get involved. The more you know, the more you can make a difference!

  2. Fully Commit

    Recycling is more than just dumping cans into a recycling bin (although that’s part of it). There’s so much more you can do! Make your commitment to reduce, reuse, recycle, and buy recycled.

  3. Share The Love

    Excited about your latest recycling trip? Share it on social media using the hashtag #BeRecycled. The more we get the word out, the more we encourage others to recycle and help save the planet!

    POWERFUL WAYS RECYCLING SAVES ENERGY

    1. ​It fuels your binge-watching

      One recycled tin can would save enough energy to power a TV for three hours.

    2. ​It maximises social media time

      One recycled glass bottle can save enough energy to power a computer for 25 minutes.​

    3. ​It keeps the lights on

      One recycled plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for 3 hours.
