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

For week of January 26, 2004 – January 30, 2004

Trash Tip of the Week:

Did you know that:

· Every day, American businesses generate enough paper to circle the Earth 20 times!

· Manufacturing recycled paper produces 55% less air and water pollution than manufacturing paper from virgin wood.

Do your part to save the environment and recycle. Use your blue bags to place your discarded paper – don’t forget to make the most of copy paper by using both sides! Trash collection for all recyclable material is Thursdays and Fridays.
