Holiday Recycling Tips
The amount of trash produced in the U.S. increases by an estimated 25% — about one million extra tons of garbage each week. Annually, Americans discard an estimated:
- 38,000 miles of ribbon, or enough to wrap around the planet (with some left for a bow);
- $11 billion worth of packing material;
- And 15 million used Christmas trees.
