Reasons to Recycle
  • Recycling is the easiest thing we all can do 365 days a year to save energy, conserve natural resources and create green jobs.
  • Recycling is a multibillion-dollar industry that employs millions of Americans and helps advance our clean energy economy.
  • Our national recycling rate of 34.5 percent annually:
    • Saves the equivalent of the annual energy consumption of nearly 10 million U.S. households per year.
    • Avoids greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to removing more than 33 million cars from the road each year.
 
Currently About 30% of Salado households use curbside recycling. Please consider adding this service to your home waste account. It will make a world of difference for all of us.
