Waste Facts
Buy Recycled
            


Recycling household waste helps the environment by saving raw materials, saving energy, reducing air pollution and reducing the amount of waste for disposal. 

The next step is to buy products made from recycled materials, and encourage manufacturers and retailers to produce and stock them.

Buy it, Recycle it, Buy Recycled, and close the loop.
