Incredible Recycling Facts

• More than 20 million Hershey’s Kisses are wrapped each day, using 133 square miles of aluminum foil. All of that foil is recyclable, but not many people realize it – so most of it goes in the trash!

• Every month Americans throw out enough glass bottles and jars to fill up a giant skyscraper (think: Empire State Building), but all of these jars are recyclable!

• Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours. In spite of this, Americans throw away enough aluminum to rebuild our entire commercial fleet of airplanes every three months!
