How Will You Celebrate America Recycles Day?

November 15, 2013

Today, November 15th, is America Recycles Day, a day to focus on how you can increase and improve your recycling efforts in your home, school, office, and’  community. Arlington County residents can feel proud to live in an area where recycling is a high priority. In fact, Arlington County was recognized by the Virginia Recycling Association with a 2013 Recycling Award for Excellence in Waste Reduction, Recycling & Litter Prevention for being an outstanding local government on this issue.

The Arlington County website details lots of options on how you can reduce your trash waste through recycling and including information about:

 

  • What items are collected curbside
  • Where recycling items can be dropped off
  • What happens to your waste

It also includes information about reducing your waste before it even arrives in your home or office by:

  • Opting out of wanted junk mail
  • Making better choices before you buy

Visit theses great resources for more information on how you can help!

You can learn more about how you can participate in America Recycles Day from the following:

  • America Recycles Day
  • Earth911
  • Environmental Protection Agency
  • Freecycle
