Good morning, 

     I read your fact about aluminum recycling 
     yesterday and wanted to let you know that I 
     heard many recycling organizations just toss 
     what they pick up and that a lot of it ends 
     up in the landfill with the rest of the 
     garbage. 


One dumpster of recyclables gets dumped in a landfill and 
suddenly the entire recycling industry is a fraud? Yes, 
there are instances where recyclables are thrown away for 
one reason or another, but recycling of all sorts of 
material is invaluable and should be encouraged! 

Please scroll down for more details.

Thanks for reading,

* Each year, U.S. factories melt down approximately 666,000 
tons of aluminum from 45 billion recycled cans. Aluminun cans 
are so in demand they even import 5 billion cans just to save 
money. Recycled aluminum requires only ONE-SEVENTH as much 
energy to process as virgin material. 

* In addition, about 420,000 tons of plastic bottles, 2.4 
million tons of glass containers, and more than 50 million 
tons of wastepaper are collected and made into new products.

* Unfortunately, the percentage of bottles and cans turned 
in by consumers has dropped over the past decade, as big 
beverage companies have squelched proposed deposit laws that 
would require them to take back their containers. The 11 
states with such statutes recycle four out of five bottles, 
compared to just one out of five nationwide.
