Salt Lake County Recycling 3.08

Take the 20% Challenge to increase SLCounty's recycling rates: http://www.slco.org/recycle/takethechallenge/take-the-challenge.html

Salt Lake County residents have convenient curbside recycling collection.

Simple right? One can for your paper, cardboard, plastic, aluminum and steel cans. Even with this simplicity, the average American throws away 4.6 pounds of trash and recycles only 1.4 pounds every day. If you had a household of four, in one week you and your family would have thrown away an average of 140 pounds of trash; and in one year that is 7,280 pounds of trash. More than 75% of the things we throw away can be recycled. This means, on average, we should be recycling more than 3.45 pounds and disposing less than 1.15 pounds of trash every day.

Here at Salt Lake Valley Recycling we want to help teach our community the ins and outs of recycling. We give tours and presentations on how you, your family and even your business can do just a little more for our environment by reducing, reusing and recycling items we no longer need.

Email us today to reserve a tour or presentation for you, your family, and your business.
