The document discusses a recent study on the availability of recycling programs in the United States. It found that while 94% of consumers have access to recycling, only 73% have curbside pickup programs and many charge extra fees. The study also found that 21% only have drop-off options, which are inconvenient. Recycling is especially lacking for apartment complexes. The document advocates for recycling due to the environmental benefits and to reduce waste.
2. Why You Should Recycle Aerosol
Products
Recycling provides an essential outlet for
consumers to reduce their environmental
footprint.
Unfortunately, less than a third of all waste
produced in the United States alone is properly
recycled.
Constantly using natural resources and throwing
them away significantly increases our negative
environmental impact.
3. The Availability of Recycling
Research studies completed in the past decade
presumed that most consumers in the United
States could access a local recycling program.
A recent study completed in 2016 changed this
general assumption.
It looked into the accessibility of these recycling
programs, and found that recycling isn’t as common
as many people believed it was.
4. The Availability of Recycling
The Centralized Study on Availability of Recycling
found that 94% of consumers have recycling
programs.
However, only 73% of those programs offer
curbside recycle programs.
Many of these curbside programs cost an extra
fee on top of the normal waste management bill
that consumers pay on a monthly basis.
Many people who wish to recycle are discouraged
by the extra costs and inconvenient locations.
5. The Availability of Recycling
This study also concluded that another 21% of
the United States had access to drop-off
recycling.
However, very few people view this option as a
convenient alternative to placing waste in a
garbage can that is picked up weekly.
6. Recycling for Apartments
Rarely do apartment complexes or landlords
provide curbside recycling programs.
More often than not, larger apartment complexes
lack a recycling option all together.
This means that consumers who wish to recycle
need to find drop-off locations for their recycling.
This makes the recycling process very inconvenient
for a normal consumer.
7. Recycling for Apartments
Some apartment complexes and landlords do
offer recycling services, but this typically only
happens in single- or multi-family housing
options.
Unfortunately, the lack of recycling availability in
cities changed consumers’ mindset on the
benefits of recycling.
This means that the next generations could feel
less inclined to recycle.
8. Why you should Recycle
The United States generates 30% of the world’s
garbage.
Other reports concluded that Americans waste
nearly 1 million pounds of materials per person
every year.
Recycling provides an easy way for consumers to
take care of the environment.
Recycling saves money, energy, improves
efficiency, and reduces the overall harmful impact
that the industrial world market has on the
environment today.
