Without a demand in the marketplace for recycled products, there is little incentive for manufacturers to utilize collected recyclables in the production of new products, and consequently, little reason to ask you to recycle your cans, bottles, and newspapers. Recycled products have improved over the past ten years. Paper products, clothing, plastic products, and carpeting are just some of the recycled products now readily available. Some recycled products are readily available in retail outlets, others may be harder to find. Let your local retailers know that you would like them to stock more recycled products.
Many stores are also happy to accommodate customers needs through special orders.
Buying recycled is worth the effort.
