Why Do We Recycle?

Recycling the junk we pick up almost always costs us operationally - in time, resources spent and logistics. However, we always do it. Why?
Well, to be real about it - because we care that there is more and more potential recycling going into landfills every single day - and while we can't make sure others don't damage our environment more, we can do our part and take as much recycling as possible to the proper facilities.
You see, currently, there are over 5 million tons of waste being generated each week in the USA alone. 5 million tons! And groups like Greenpeace and Environmental USA tell us almost 1/3 of that waste could be recycled.
Do we get EVERY item into the recycling that we could? Probably not - but we sure do try to make it happen for you, for us and for the planet.
