GENERAL RECYCLING TIPS



Buy recycled products.



Reuse and Recycle whenever possible.



Use reusable products rather than disposable

(i.e. dinner plates vs. paper plates).



Use reusable bags for all shopping.



Buy in bulk. Large sizes deliver more product

with less packaging waste and is usually more

economical.



Pack yourself or your children a waste free

lunch. Put food in reusable containers rather

than a disposable bag.



Leave your grass clippings lie - don’t bag them.

As the clippings decay, they return important

nutrients to the soil.



Start a compost pile.



Recycle paper - Support local school paper

recycling programs.

Thank you for recycling! Your actions do make a difference. Making new

prod-ucts from recycled materials instead of virgin materials conserves natural

re-sources, saves landfill space and reduces the pollution created in the

manufac-turing process. For example, by making new steel cans out of recycled

materi-al, energy use is reduced by 74%, air pollution by 85%, solid waste by 95% and

water pollution by 76%.

Keep recycling working by purchasing products made from recycled materials.

Contact the Office of Pollution Prevention at (618) 233-7769 for information on

waste reduction and recycling for schools, businesses and homes, alternatives

to leaf burning, air pollution, ozone alerts, reducing household hazardous

waste, school education materials, classroom presentations etc.

Garbage collection services are offered throughout St. Clair County. The

burn-ing of household trash is a violation of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act.

Some municipalities and unicorporated St. Clair County allow burning of

land-scape waste. Contact your City or Village Hall for specific restrictions.

Other-wise landscape waste may only be burned if all of the following conditions are

present:

 It is burned on the site where generated

 It is burned when atmospheric conditions will readily dissipate contaminants

 Burning does not create a visibility hazard

 It is not burned in a municipality that has enacted ordinances which restrict

or ban landscape waste burning

It is also illegal for any business to burn waste materials without an IEPA permit.

Building contractors, landscapers and other businesses that generate wood and

other easily combustible materials are often found violating this law.

SAVE ENERGY RECYCLE

Did you know that when you recycle, you not only reduce the amount of

waste going into the landfills, but you also save

energy...and more. Here are some fun facts about energy and

recycling.



One pound of recycled steel saves enough energy to light a 60 watt

incandescent bulb for 24 hours…….



For every glass bottle recycled, we save enough energy to light a

100 watt incandescent bulb for four hours...or enough energy to light

an equivalent 23 watt compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) for more than

16 hours!



All of the materials recycled in Illinois each year save enough energy

to provide heat and light for 400,000 Illinois homes.



Recycling one ton of glass saves the equivalent in energy of 10

gal-lons of oil.



Every ton of paper recycled saves enough energy to heat and air

condition the average American home for at least six months.



Recycling two aluminum cans saves the same amount of energy it

takes to power a personal computer for one work day.



Tossing away an aluminum can wastes as much energy as pouring

out half that can’s volume of gasoline.

GENERAL RECYCLING TIPS



Buy recycled products.



Reuse and Recycle whenever possible.



Use reusable products rather than disposable

(i.e. dinner plates vs. paper plates).



Use reusable bags for all shopping.



Buy in bulk. Large sizes deliver more product

with less packaging waste and is usually more

economical.



Pack yourself or your children a waste free

lunch. Put food in reusable containers rather

than a disposable bag.



Leave your grass clippings lie - don’t bag them.

As the clippings decay, they return important

nutrients to the soil.



Start a compost pile.



Recycle paper - Support local school paper

recycling programs.
