Celebrate America Recycles Day by Recycling Glass!
Since 1997, communities across the country have come together on November 15 to celebrate America Recycles Day. More than a celebration, America Recycles Day is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to the promotion of recycling programs in the United States.
“America’s glass container manufacturers have been supporters of America Recycles Day since the beginning,” said Joseph J. Cattaneo, President of the Glass Packaging Institute. “It’s an important way to remind Americans of the value of recycling. Glass container manufacturers want to encourage Americans to recycle all materials, but especially glass, which, unlike most materials, can be recycled back into its original form over and over again.“
To support this effort, please take the America Recycles Day pledge by visiting www.KAB.org.
