Benefits of Recycling
This site is not meant to guilt you into doing "the right thing. " Personally I hate to be told what to do and I am not about to go down that road.

I started this website to cut through the minutia and give you well-researched information on the topic of recycling and the benefits of recycling. Once you have the information you can make an informed decision about what to do with what you have learned.

CRI: Container Recycling Institute
The Container Recycling Institute is a non-profit organization with a mission to make North America a global model for the collection and quality recycling of packaging materials. We envision a world where no material is wasted, and the environment is protected. We succeed because companies and people collaborate to create a strong, sustainable domestic economy.
