Recycling Fact

Between 1990 and 2000, Americans wasted a total of 7.1 million tons of cans, enough to manufacture 316,000 Boeing 737 airplanes or enough to reproduce the world’s entire commercial airfleet 25 times. Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have thrown away 910 billion cans worth over $25 billion in current dollars.

Recycling scrap metal can be great for your business. Scrap metal is unwanted metal parts and pieces which are traded and sold as a commodity as well as used to practical effect.
