Recycle 'Til You Drop!
Waste Commissions In Your Area
There once was a girl name' of ANN
Who'd recycle every jar, every can
'cycling cartons and boxes
And papers and watches
Such a good little example this girl name' of Ann
Did you know the recycled cardboard that your cereal comes in used only 1/4 the energy to make and also only created 1/2 the pollution as a newly made box?
Besides decreased energy use and pollution reduction, another advantage is the resultant pride knowing you are contributing to the welfare of your community and state. It can also be a chance to create a family project at home or with your friends. See who can recycle the most as well as purchase recycled items. List items that you find are made by recycling means. This can be something we ALL can work on every day of our lives.
From a recycled garden in Davenport on North Carey Avenue above 53rd Street, to a Davenport resident winning a car for her years of recycling, IOWANS are doing their part to make our state a cleaner state.
So what can recycling do for you and what can you do for recycling? Park benches, rugs, goggles and fiber for filling ski jackets are just a few items that can be made from recycled plastics. Used aluminum and steel have each found a second life as bikes, cookware, and cars.
