HELPING THE ENVIRONMENT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. RECYCLING KEEPS OUR ECONOMY STRONG TOO.
Seventy-six percent of all the material that comes to the Franklin County Sanitary Landfill could have been diverted through recycling or composting. That material also has value. When you take the time to recycle right, you help to protect the environment and reduce your reliance on the landfill. The benefits of those efforts will extend far beyond protecting our air, waterways and natural resources.
In fact, Recycling also:
Supports more than 370 businesses in Central Ohio.
Creates 5,000 jobs in Central Ohio.
Generates $1.3 billion in annual revenue for the local economy.
Extends the life of landfills and slows the need for costly construction of new landfill space.
