Why Recycle?

How long does it take for some of the things that you use everyday to decompose to non-recognizable form?
How about an orange peel? One day. Maybe two. Try up to 6 months!

Paper doesn't take very long to decompose, does it. Only 2 to 5 months!

Plastic Coated Cartons - 5 YEARS!

Cigarette butts - 10 to 12 YEARS!

Plastic Bags - 10 to 20 YEARS!

Plastic containers - 50 to 80 YEARS!

Aluminum - 80 to 100 YEARS!

STYROFOAM - NEVER!

 

All the things here are seen along the roadways and shorelines everyday. Every thing listed here can be recycled in some way (except cigarette butts). Many of these things are a danger to wildlife and to us.

Please Don't Litter.
