Documentation Documents & Forms About The Recycling Center is open to all Candia residents and recycling is mandatory in order to use the facility. Here are some key reasons why recycling is important: Energy savings and conservation of natural resources. Items made from recycled material save our natural resources, and saves energy used to produce new products. Keeps costs down. Recycling keeps a substantial amount of material out of the trash. This is important because trash goes to a landfill which is the most expensive means of disposal. The 2016 financial return for recycling in our community was $49,360.95. Recycling enabled savings of $76,551 in avoided disposal and transportation fees. Saves valuable landfill space. The local landfill space is limited, so the more we can keep out of landfills, the longer they will last. This will avoid expensive shipping to other locations.
