America Recycles Day

Observed annually on November 15, this is a day on which the EPA encourages and promotes recycling efforts. Be sure to check with local recycling providers to be certain that items placed in your recycling bin are accepted. Items like cardboard, metal cans and paper are commonly accepted by local curbside programs, and items like plastic bags, electronics and batteries can never go in the curbside recycling bin.
