Create more recycling centers in the United States to reduce the amount of trash and waste

Created by B.R. on December 09, 2014

Increases in the amount of trash that is thrown away every year is growing and is overloading the landfills. This plan will help relieve some of that pressure and reduce the tons of trash that is thrown away every year. Areas where will be greatly impacted with these recycling centers include heavily populated cities and areas as they produce the most waste and very little is done with it. Each year, the typical American family throws out 2,460 pounds of paper, 540 pounds of metals, 480 pounds of glass and 480 pounds of food scraps and is all sent to the landfills where it will accumulate and continue to grow.
