Recycling at SMS
Why recycle?
The U.S. is one of the largest
producers of trash in the world.
On average, each person in the U.S. produces 1,609
pounds of trash per year.
100 acres of trees are cut every minute, most of which are made into paper we’ll use once and throw
away.
It takes at least 20 years to replace each
of those trees.
For every ton of paper recycled, 17
trees are saved.
Every hour 250,000 plastic
bottles are used.
It takes approximately 700 to
1000 years for a plastic bottle to decompose in a
landfill.
