Help keep our township clean and protect our environment. Removing recyclables from our waste reduces amounts going to landfills and is less expensive than land filling. It takes 95% less energy to make an aluminum can from recycled aluminum than from virgin bauxite ore. Recycling an aluminum can saves six ounces of gasoline! Recycling a three foot stack of newspapers saves a forty foot tree!
