Glendale Residents Recycled 119 Tons in 2009!


Congratulations Glendale residents! In 2009, you recycled 119 tons
of metal, glass, plastic, and paper. Residents saved resources,
conserved energy, and reduced pollution by recycling.

The recycling efforts in Glendale:

•	Conserved enough energy to power every home in Glendale
                for 8 days.

•	Reduced more greenhouse gas pollution than if every
                household in Glendale did not drive a car for a month.

•	Saved 1,047 trees from being harvested. 


Recycling reduces pollution so the air we breathe is cleaner,
conserves natural resources so we will have them to use in the
future, and decreases the energy needed to make new products.
Recycling also boosts our local economy by creating 169,000 jobs
and $6 billion in annual wages just in the State of Ohio.

On average, each household in Glendale recycled 253 pounds in 2009.
That’s   9.25% of all the waste you generate. If you would like to
see even more material recycled in 2010, check out the list below
