American Disposal Services has partnered with carton recycling nonprofit, Carton Council, to launch an awareness campaign to increase recycling of food and beverage carton packaging throughout parts of the DC Metro area. The campaign aims to further boost Suburban Washington’s recycling rate by letting residents know that food and beverage cartons such as those used for milk and orange juice can now be recycled and should be thrown in their Single Stream recycling bin, the same place where residents currently recycle their glass, plastic and cans.
This awareness campaign is scheduled to last until November 2016. Carton recycling is now available in close to 60% of American households nationwide. Recycling cartons helps reduce waste in landfills and also reuses our natural resources as cartons are recycled into paper products like paper towels, napkins and even building materials. Residents can learn more about carton recycling by visiting recyclecartonseastcoast.com.
