Five Benefits of Recycling

How often do you stop and think about the ways recycling can benefit you? Take a second and consider your daily life – have you ever thrown away an aluminum can because it feels like too much work to clean out? Or, do you know what can and cannot go into your recycling cart? Often, people choose not to recycle because it is an extra step that doesn’t reap an instant reward. However, taking small steps to create good recycling habits in your daily life produces benefits that impact you far more than you likely realize.
