Recycling is not only easy but it makes a difference in St. Louis County.
The good news:  Last year folks in St. Louis County recycled 40 tons of aluminum cans saving over 27.36 kilo-watt hours of electricity!
The bad news:  Last year, almost 20 times that weight in recyclable aluminum ended up in the landfill rather than being recycled. 
The good news:  Last year we recycled a total of 4,839 tons of cardboard, paper, and cans and bottles saving 14,517 cubic yards of landfill space.
The bad news:  Last year over two and a half times that much still ended up in the landfill!   Let's recycle MORE!
