3. Economical WHAT IS ECONOMICAL RECYCLING? Recycling benefits the economy by also reducing expenditures. As more items are reduced, the amount of waste that needs to go to the landfill or incinerator is also reduced. Through recycling, communities can save on their waste disposal costs (eg. landfill costs), which can be very expensive. In addition, through the sale of the recycled materials, communities can also offset the cost of their waste disposal, thereby further reducing their expenditure. Subsequently, acres and acres of landfill space can be saved, and be diverted for other uses. In countries where land is scarce, saving on landfill space could mean savings by the million, and in fact earnings, if the land can be used for other revenue-generating functions. With recycling, everything can be used to its maximum potential. Nothing is wasted. Such cost-effective practices not only saves money, but the environment and our resources too. Evidently, recycling benefits the economy and beyond!

6. Packing your own lunch in reusable containers not only reduces waste, but also saves loads of your hard- earned cash. The average American worker spends $37 per week on bought lunch, adding up to $2,000 a year (there's that pay increase you've been looking for). When you do eat out, try to choose restaurants that package food in reusable or easily-recyclable containers, such as plastic #1 or #2 containers, rather than hard- to-recycle foam boxes. WAY TO GO FORD! Each 2012 Ford Focus electric contains approximately 22 post-consumer recycled plastic bottles in its seat fabric. “On an average car we use about 300 pounds of plastic,” Angela Harris, Ford biomaterials research engineer, told Earth911. “So, there are a lot of opportunities there to increase the overall bio content and recycled content. We have accomplished a lot, but we’re going to keep it going.” ENVIRONMENTAL RECYCLING FACTS

7. WHAT IS SINGLE STREAM RECYCLING? Single-stream (also known as “fully commingled” or "single-sort") recycling refers to a system in which all paper fibers, plastics, metals, and other containers are mixed in a collection truck, instead of being sorted by the depositor into separate commodities (newspaper, paperboard, corrugated fiberboard, plastic etc.) and handled separately throughout the collection process. recyclingpapernewspaperpaperboard corrugated fiberboardplastic In single-stream, both the collection and processing systems are designed to handle this fully commingled mixture of recyclables, with materials being separated for reuse at a materials recovery facility.materials recovery facility

8. What is my ROLE? Your role is to place all desk-side recyclables - such as fiber (newspaper, office paper and cardboard) and non-fiber (plastic bottles, steel and aluminum cans) into a single recycling container for subsequent collection, processing and remarketing.

9. STEP 1- OUR GOAL IS TO REDUCE HOSPITAL WASTE In keeping with the zero waste commitment the Huntsman Cancer Hospital is partnering with the University of Utah and Office of Sustainability to develop zero waste across campus. zero wasteReducing the hospital’s consumption is crucial to begin any creation of a sustainable waste cycle. If HCH can begin to eliminate waste in the first place, the university is on the proper path toward a zero waste campus / hospital. Reduce is the most important factor of the 3 R’s: REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE. 65% of the material in our landfill could have been recycled

There will be centrally located and well labeled trash receptacles for your trash. The great news is, the majority of office waste will be recyclable. We appreciate your cooperation in placing what little “trash” you have into the appropriate receptacle. Medical waste ie: gauze soaked with blood

13. WHY ME? Emptying your own trash increases accountability. "When you take care of it, you're aware of it." Environmental Service Improvements Staff will not be reduced, instead, custodians will be re- directed toward weekly sanitizing of offices. Hi-use areas like bathrooms, public areas and patient rooms will also receive additional attention.

Screens first pull the cardboard away; the conveyor separates different kinds of papers: shredded, newsprint and magazine. Farther along the process, milk jugs are spotted by an optical lens, and blasted into a bin. Later, a magnet plucks metal cans from the stream.

29. “Contaminated” Recycling If the materials mix, Rocky Mountain Recycling cannot sell the finished bales on the market. “Contaminated” bales end up in the landfill because the paper producers and metal smelters can’t use them. RMR has some really strict guidelines for what they can accept, because they have to turn it into a product that can be introduced back into manufacturing. If it's contaminated, it's unusable to them. That's why a machine like this is critical! RECYCLING
