It's simple math. Let's use Warwick as an example. In FY 1998, Warwick diverted 8,728.36 tons of its waste to the recycling facility. That's a lot of money that could be used for other city services such as snow removal or repairs to school buildings. By recycling as much as you can, you save your town money and help delay the inevitable raising of your property taxes.
Recycling is a sound economic and environmental practice.
Please recycle as much as you can.
