Congratulations
Mt. Healthy residents! In 2006, you recycled
151.49 tons of metal,
glass, plastic, and paper. Your recycling efforts benefited the
environment and the local economy in a big way.
The recycling efforts in
Mt. Healthy saved the
equivalent of:
*
1,254 trees
*
7,585
gallons of gasoline
*
Enough energy to power 22 average homes for an entire year
*
126 tons of greenhouse gases - equivalent to removing 100
cars from the road.
Recycling reduces pollution so
the air we breathe is cleaner,
conserves natural resources so we will have them to use in the
future, and decreases the amount of waste going to the landfill.
Recycling also boosts our local economy by creating 169,000 jobs
and $6 billion in annual wages just in the State of Ohio.
Each household in
Mt. Healthy recycled 107 pounds
in 2006. That's a lot of pop cans and newspapers! If you would
