Newspaper Recycling
If we recycled all of the newspapers printed in the U.S. on a typical Sunday, we would save 550,000 trees—or about 26 million trees per year. (California Department of Conservation)
On a national average, American garbage consists of:
- 37% paper and paperboard
- 5% glass
- 8% metals
- 11% plastics
- 11% food
- 12% yard trimmings
- 15% other (textiles, rubber, leather, wood...)
