Many area landfills have recognized the importance of keeping cardboard out of the landfill.  In fact, several have placed bans on the materials with hefty fines for offenders.

Recycling Facts

Every ton of office paper recovered from our waste stream…

  • saves over 17 trees
  • saves 7,000 gallons of water
  • saves over 20 barrels of oil
  • saves 4,200 kilowatt hours of electricity
    (enough energy to run the average household for over six months)
  • keeps 60 pounds of air pollution effluents out of the air
  • saves over 3 cubic yards of landfill space.

Additionally, each ton of paper produced from virgin fibers uses 2 ½ times more energy than producing it from recycled paper.  Recycled paper is also produced in a cleaner, less toxic process than non-recycled paper.
