Catherine Walsh to learn more about how Recycling at Work can help
you reduce waste and save money.
The benefits of recycling range from improving
your bottom line to conserving natural resources
and reducing pollution.
Save Money Reducing waste can lower the number
of garbage pick-ups or reduce the size of your
waste container. These changes can translate
into real cost savings for your business.
Conserve Resources Recycling makes it possible
to create products from used paper, plastic,
or metals instead of using raw materials. This
process reduces pollution, conserves landfill
space, and decreases the need for mining, logging,
and drilling for natural resources.
Create Good Jobs and Boost the Local
Economy The recycling industry has a total economic impact
of 169,000 jobs and $6 billion in annual wages,
just in the state of Ohio. Since the average
wage paid in the recycling industry is $8,000
more than the state’s average, recycling
means good jobs for people in Ohio.
