What equipment do you need? As a nation of consumers. The United States
generates millions of tons of residential, commercial and industrial waste every
day. Our recycling containers meet the needs of the expanding recycling industry
with innovative features most often asked for by our customers. Customize the
number of access doors, number of internal compartments, and number of
card-board slots to install.
PAPER:
·
We can save more space in our landfills
by recycling paper products than any other materials and
each piece of paper
can be recycled up to five times
before the fibers become too weak
· 44
million newspapers are thrown away every day in the
United States. This is like throwing 500 000 trees into
a landfill
each week.
ALUMINUM:
·
It takes about 95% less
energy to make aluminum from recycled aluminum than to
make it from raw materials.
·
Recycling a single aluminum can saves
enough energy to power your television for three hours
or to run a 100-watt
light bulb for almost four hours.
Aluminum dumped into our landfills today
will remain there for over 200 years.
PLASTICS:
·
Plastic bags made from recycled polythene
rather than virgin materials save two thirds of the
energy required for
production and reduce the water
used
by almost 90%.
·
Recycling is still important however,
because there are many items that can be made from
recycled plastics. These
items include garbage cans,
picnic tables, fiber-fill for vests and
jackets, traffic cones and many others.
GLASS:
·
Glass is 100% recyclable and can go from
the recycling bin to a store shelf in as little as 30
days!
·
Approximately 80% of recycled glass
containers are made into new glass bottles and glass can
be reused an infinite
number of times.
