2491 Highland Road Hermitage, PA 16148 P: 724.981.2412 F: 724.981.7667	Welcome What is Recycling? Recycling involves the separation and collection of materials for processing and remanufacturing into new products, and the use of the products to complete the cycle. Much of the aluminum, glass, paper and steel used for packaging today is already recycled. Half the nation's aluminum cans are made from recycled aluminum, and one-quarter of the raw fibers used in the paper industry are from recycled paper products. Glass and steel used in containers can be recycled over and over... Why Should I Recycle? Because it: Saves natural resources Saves landfill space Reduces pollution Saves money Creates jobs, and It's the law: Recycling in Pennsylvania became mandatory in July 1988 with the enactment of ACT 101, the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act. While curbside recycling is mandatory in 415 communities with populations greater than 5,000, more than 450 additional communities have developed curbside recycling programs voluntarily. More than 750 other communities are served by drop-off centers for recyclables!
