Show Paper Recycling Some Love!Did you know that of all recyclables, paper is the most recycled material in the United States? According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, over 65 percent (approximately 44.2 million tons) of the paper and paperboard produced was recycled in 2017. Let’s recycle even more in 2020 and make sure that the paper we’re recycling is of high value, clean, dry, and free of food and other contamination. Do Recycle
