Recycling is important in today’s world if we want to leave this planet for our future generations. When you think of recycling, think about the whole idea;
Reduce
Lower the amount of waste going to landfills by having Always Green Recycling, Inc. manage your recycling needs.
Reuse

Recycle
Have your single stream material picked up by Always Green Recycling, Inc.
Recycling has a personal benefit; it gives us a chance to align our values and our actions, which feels good, and inspires us to do more. Recycling is very important as waste has a huge negative impact on the natural environment. Harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses are released from rubbish in landfill sites. Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste. Recycling reduces the need for raw materials so that the rainforests can be preserved.
Something we cannot forget to mention is the amount of money you can save from taking your materials out of the waste pickup and recycling them. For some companies you may keep the same cost or go down in pricing all while saving the planet!
