Recycling is the third R of the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Recycling means taking a product or material at the end of its useful life and turning it into a usable raw material to make another product. To find recycling locations and programs near you, use our recycling locator. Type your zip code, and the material you want to recycle, into our recycling locator box (at the top of the page).
This section provides information about how to recycle, why to recycle and what you can recycle. The Earth 911 green recycling locator box can also help you find where you can recycle by entering a product and your location.
Curbside recycling now serves half of the U.S. population, providing the most convenient means for households to recycle a variety of materials.
While all curbside programs differ, the most commonly included materials are The Big Five: aluminum cans, glass bottles, paper, plastic and steel/tin cans.
Technology has revolutionized our lifestyle through telephones, radios, TVs, computers and cell phones. However, the brisk pace of technology means these devices become obsolete quickly.
A more recent issue is how our old electronics should be disposed of, because they often contain dangerous elements such as lead and mercury that can contaminate our soil and water supply.
Managing organic material at your home can not only decrease the amount of material you send to the landfill; it can also help turn your organic waste into a landscape asset.
Composting will reduce the amount of food waste in your garbage can, while creating nutrient-rich fertilizer for your garden.
Did you know that used motor oil can be recycled? How about paint and batteries? It turns out many of the items in your garage are recyclable.
Claim your garage back, learn what to do with the mess and help the planet while you’re at it.
NASA, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the California Institute of Technology have come up with an online animation called the Climate Time Machine offering a highly effective visual demonstration of the impact of climate change.
The Climate Time Machine shows the progress in 4 aspects of global warming - Ice Melt, Sea Level, CO2 Emissions, and Average Global Temperature - over differing periods of time. The data used aren’t projections or predictions, but actual recorded numbers which in some cases date back more than a century.
Particularly striking is the map which highlights global temperature since 1885. Temperatures remain relatively benign until the 1970’s but the map starts changing colour dramatically in the 1990’s, and by 2007 a good chunk of the planet is bathed in a flaming orange, indicating rapid and dramatic warming. Highly recommended for climate change skeptics
