“Let’s Talk Trash!”
Did you know that:
. Recycled steel cans are used to make new steel products including cars, bridges, lawnmowers, stoves, and construction materials. Over 5,400 BTU’s of energy are conserved for every pound of steel recycled. The steel industry’s annual recycling saves the equivalent energy to electrically power about 18 million households for a year! Every time a ton of steel is recycled, 2500 pounds of iron ore, 1000 pounds of coal and 40 pounds of limestone are preserved. Use your blue bags to recycle your used steel, or tin cans, like the ones that your vegetables and fruit come in. Make sure to rinse them out first. # # #
