Public Service Announcement Campaign: “Let’s Talk Trash!”

For week of January 19, 2004 – January 23, 2004

Trash Tip of the Week:

Did you know that:

v If you stacked all the tin cans (corn, green beans, tuna fish, etc.) that are recycled each year, they would reach from here to the moon and back again more than 3 times!

v You could power 18 million American homes with the energy saved by recycling tin each year!

Do your part to save the environment and recycle. Use your blue bags to place your old tin cans – don’t forget to rinse them out first! Trash collection for all recyclable material is Thursdays and Fridays.

Si juntara todas las botes de aluminio recicladas cada año, alcanzarían de aquí a la luna, ida y vuelta, más de tres veces.

Prodría emitir energía a 18 millones de hogares Americanos como resultado del reciclaje de aluminio por año.
