Check Out These Inspiring People and Organizations Encouraging Recycling in Their Communities

The average American produces around 4.4 pounds of trash per day, and as a whole, the U.S. population generates 254 million tons of trash per year. Programs aimed at increasing recycling have existed for decades, but even with those efforts, we’re not recycling nearly as much as we should. It’s estimated that 75 percent of trash is recyclable, but of that amount, only about 34.3 percent is actually being recycled. And since convenience often takes priority over environmental impact, we’re disposing of trash at an alarming rate. Water bottles are one of the biggest culprits — according to a recent article in The Guardian, one million water bottles are purchased globally every minute, and fewer than half are being recycled.

A staggering 91 percent of the world’s plastic isn’t recycled, and by 2050, the world’s oceans will have more plastic than fish. With plastic trash destroying our environment, poisoning our water, and killing marine life, it’s important for us to not only work toward increasing recycling in our communities but to also seek out alternatives to disposable products and work toward protecting our planet from further harm.

Increasing Recycling Through Education

Even in communities with well-established recycling programs, there remains a lot of confusion about what items can actually be recycled. One example is plastic bags and wraps, which typically require special recycling but usually end up in the trash or placed with regular recyclables, where they can clog machinery.

The city of Vancouver, Washington decided to remedy this issue by implementing a Wrap Recycling Action Program (WRAP) campaign to educate people about proper recycling of these items. According to a report by Greener Package, the campaign helped decrease plastic bag contamination at recycling facilities by 75 percent, and overall collection of plastic bags at designated collection sites increased by an incredible 125 percent.

Community recycling events are another way people are working to reduce the amount of waste going into landfills. At these events, residents can drop off items like mattresses, light bulbs, old clothing, and shoes, which are then recycled into new products or turned into insulation or furniture filling. Without these programs, people would be tossing away items that can be repurposed into something new.
