Buy products in containers that can be recycled. Always check the symbol on the bottom of the container. Buy products containing recycled content. It is important to buy recycled products. If no one buys products made with recycled content, there is no reason to recycle.
Manufacturers make products that people buy or they go out of business.
So always ask for recycled when you go to the store. Tell others about recycling. Let others know what you know. Contact Maryland Department of the Environment for more information about recycling.
