If you live in the city of Dayton, it's easy to recycle at home!
It costs you nothing and is as easy as tossing newspapers, plastic bottles or other recyclables in a recycling bin instead of a trash can. All you have to do is use your FREE City of Dayton recycling bin (you can choose the 96-gallon “Big Bin” or the 32-gallon “Lil’ Bin").
Recycling saves more than just the environment--it saves the community lots of money, too. It costs the City of Dayton $38.25 for every ton of garbage sent to a landfill--but each ton recycled costs only $6, or nothing when the total reaches 500 tons! When total recyclables collected reach 1,000 tons, the City would save over $343,000 a year! All it takes is more participation by people like you! (Click to see last month's total recycling collection weight.)
So…Don't Talk Trash...Recycle! For more information, or to start recycling TODAY, call 937-333-4800.
