According to the EPA, approximately 75% of the trash Americans throw away each week is recyclable. Yet only 16% is actually recycled in Havre De Grace! We are a long way from making Havre De Grace into Havre De Green!
When recycling happens, products that would normally be discarded are broken down and turned into something valuable. They receive a second life and landfills are spared the waste.
Working together we can increase recycling rates by raising awareness of Recycling in Havre de Grace through information sharing and community outreach.
