Got Recycling?

These true vs. false questions test your recycling knowledge:


1) Liquid contents need to be emptied out of plastic bottles and aluminum cans before placing containers in blue recycling bins in the church. (TRUE)



2) A pizza container can be placed in the recycle bin if it is made out of cardboard.
(FALSE – grease and food stains contaminate cardboard so it cannot be recycled)



3) Each year, the average office worker discards more than 175 pounds of paper. (TRUE)



4) Americans throw away 1 million plastic bottles every hour. (FALSE – it’s 2.5 million plastic bottles)



5) An aluminum can that is thrown away will still be a can 500 years from now. (TRUE)



Thank you for putting cardboard, paper, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and newspapers in the blue recycling bins!
