IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES 
NOVEMBER 14, 2007 
Received and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Supporting the goal and mission of America Recycles Day. 
Whereas America Recycles Day is on November 15th of each 
year; 
Whereas America Recycles Day is an annual national aware-
ness event, the mission of which is promoting the social, 
environmental, and economic benefits of recycling and 
buying recycled-content products;

Whereas the goal of America Recycles Day is to increase the 
purchase of recycled-content products and recycling 
throughout America; 
Whereas Americans have a long tradition of recycling; 
Whereas in 1896, the first recycling center was established 
in New York City, and, by 1989, the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency had set a national waste reduction and re-
cycling goal, and 26 States had enacted laws making re-
cycling an integral part of their solid waste management 
plans; 
Whereas in 2003, homes, businesses, and institutions in the 
United States produced more than 236,000,000 tons of 
municipal solid waste; 
Whereas this amounts to approximately 4.5 pounds of waste 
per person in the United States per day, and is almost 
triple the amount of municipal solid waste generated in 
1960; 
Whereas the Environmental Protection Agency reports that 
30 percent of municipal solid waste is recovered for recy-
cling or composting, 14 percent is incinerated, and the 
remaining 56 percent is discarded in landfills; 
Whereas a significant amount of this disposed solid waste can 
be recovered for recycling or composting through source 
separation, mechanical separation, and community-based 
recycling programs; 
Whereas recycling saves energy, which in turn can reduce 
American dependence on foreign oil and prevent pollu-
tion; reduces the need for certain natural resources; can 
create more jobs; can cost communities less than other 
waste disposal options; supplies valuable raw materials to

reduces the need for new landfills and combustors; 
Whereas over the past 10 years, many new markets for recy-
cled products have been created, including remanufac-
turing plastic containers into other plastic containers, 
fleece, carpet, car parts, strapping, stuffing, bottles, pipe, 
lawn and garden products, injection molded products, 
and plastic lumber; 
Whereas while there are many new markets for recycled prod-
ucts, community curbside pickup programs have de-
creased and recycling rates for certain recyclable house-
hold products, like plastic and aluminum containers, have 
decreased or stayed the same; 
Whereas Federal, State, and local governments should en-
courage increased recycling of recyclable household prod-
ucts; and 
Whereas there remains significant opportunity to increase re-
cycling in the United States, and Americans should be 
encouraged to participate in endeavors that promote 
waste separation methods, community-based recycling 
programs, and expanded utilization of recovered mate-
