TIP FROM OUR GREEN TEAM America Recycles Day is Saturday, November 15. The purpose is to encourage Americans to support recycling by increasing efforts in their own homes. In addition to recycling, one of the best things we can do is to make sure we purchase recycled products. Recycled products look and perform the same as those made from virgin materials, and prices are becoming competitive with non-recycled products. More at indianarecycling.org.
