I live in a small town, and there are no recycling plants. I’ve checked for years and years trying to keep informed so that maybe one day a recycling plant will open, and I’ll be ready. I won’t care if it’s for recycling plastic, glass, paper, or batteries. I would feel good if there was something I could recycle, but there’s not.

So why do I still feel guilty?

I’ve read that most facilities will not accept textbooks in their original states because of the glue used in binding the books, but if you tear off the textbook’s cover and binding, can you throw the remaining pages into the recycling bin? The book in question is quite old, and not worth much money anymore. Thank you very much.

Hi, I need to write a paper about recycling in Atlanta and I need some statistics about the number of recycling programs in Atlanta, number of jobs related to recycling, landfills in Atlanta, and any other information related to recycling and Atlanta.
Does anyone know where I can find information and statistics like that?

In computers class we are in groups if 5 making a movie about recycling. My group is made of 3 guys and two girls. (i’m one of the girls) We need to make a funny movie that has to do with recycling. Any ideas?

My Senior Project is on “Going Green,” but I am setting up a recycling center at my school. I need to promote it some how and I was thinking about making it a competition. What is a good way to set up the competition and what can the reward be?

So a couple years ago Seattle citizens used to have to separate their glass bottles from their other recyclables. In Japan, they separate all of their recycling into different bins such as “glass only”, “paper only”, and “plastic” before they reach the recycling center. Why don’t people in Seattle have to separate their recycling, like Japanese people do, before it reaches the recycling center?

I am looking at posible business opportunities in recycling. I am trying to identify a product to focus on. Thank you.

When the truck comes to pick up my recycling it looks just like a garbage truck. My husband says that it all goes to the same place & that he knew guys who worked for Waste Management who said it all gets dumped in the dump. So how do I know that all the recyclables that I so painstakingly separate, actually make a difference for the planet?

After my neighborhood stopped recylcing, my family started hauling all of our plastics to a recycling center 30 minutes away. We got more conscious and started recyclin everything. I don’t throw away batteries, fluorescent lights (I have a huge pile.. ehh), I watch what I pour down the drain, and I try to save water, but what is the point. I go to a neighbor’s house and see that they drink bottled water and every bottle they drink is thrown in the trash. I see people throwing litter on the ground. I see people just trashing the planet, so how can I not feel like the effort I put into recycling is pointless? It just makes me sick.

I am trying to find a way i can get a recycling program started in my town. Any ideas?

I live in McDonough, Georgia, and I drink a lot of Monster Energy drinks. I collected the empty cans for about 6 months, and a have a really large amount now. I want to know how much these well ‘sell’ for to a recycling center. I have 16oz, 24oz, and 32oz cans.

there is nowhere in my complex for my to recycle. and the nearest facility to me is gate access only (i don’t live there, so i can’t get in to dump my recyclable materials), and the one after that is 20miles away. way too far. i want to see if i can get my apartment complex to provide a center for myself and fellow residents to dump our recycling materials. how could i go about doing this?
