This week, we'll celebrate America Recycles Day, which takes place annually on Nov. 15 and recognizes the benefits of recycling while providing an educational platform that helps raise awareness about the value of reducing, reusing and recycling – every day – throughout the year.
Check out the totals from last year:
Over 1,250 educational events
Nearly 570 collection events
And even 80 tailgating recycling events at collegiate football games
Our special guests will be:
Maia Corbitt, Executive Director of State of Texas Alliance for Recycling (STAR), a regular annual participant
Monica Lopez Magee with Keep America Beautiful to talk about the history of the event
Lauren Hammond with the City of Austin's Resource Recovery Department on how groups and residents can participate
