Did You Know...

Äthat South Shore taxpayers/ratepayers spent over $2 Million to throw away paper last year?

     more

Äthat recycling 2 bags of paper a week keeps 9 trees in the forest, saves

120 gallons of fuel, and keeps 1.5 tons of carbon dioxide out of the air

each year?

 

Äthat you do NOT need to remove staples, paper clips, tape, spirals or

windows

from your paper prior to recycling? more

Äthat plastic is derived from crude oil? Making bottles to meet

Americans’ demand for bottled water requires more than 1.5 million

barrels of oil annually, enough to fuel some 100,000 U.S. cars for a year.  Worldwide, some 2.7 million tons of plastic are used to bottle water each year. According to the Container Recycling Institute, 86 percent of plastic water bottles used in the United States become litter or trash.
