National recycling organizations provide “top 10 in the bin” list
As America Recycles Day approaches, list created to help answer question: “what can i recycle?”
With the national recycling rate slightly above 34%, Americans have the opportunity to capture more material for recycling by recycling correctly. Among the common barriers to recycling more, however, is confusion about what can be recycled.
To help answer the question – “What can I recycle?” – three national organizations that focus on recycling – Keep America Beautiful (KAB, kab.org), the National Waste & Recycling Association (NW&RA, wasterecycling.org) and the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA, SWANA.org) – as well as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), have joined together on an initiative to help make recycling requirements clearer and easier to follow. The initial effort in this program is the “Top 10 in the Bin” list of the most widely and easily recycled items in America.
