Reasons to Recycle
America Recycles Day is November 15: Know Where to Throw
Grant Your Garbage New Life
Raw materials are becoming scarcer by the day. That is why now, more than ever, it is vital to reuse and recycle. On November 15, millions of people around the United States will take part in America Recycles Day to raise awareness about recycling or to purchase recycled products. Since 1960, the recycling rate has increased from 7 percent to a significant 32 percent today. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) reported a study that found recycling and reuses activities in the united states account for 681,000 jobs and 37.8 billion in wages.
The efforts of communities and businesses in the United States help drive the growth and success of this program. We encourage you to contribute by recycling not only on every annual America Recycles Day, but all year.

Construction and Demolition (C&D) materials are not all equal. There is a wide variety of materials that have been used in construction in the Bay Area. Some of the materials are able to be recycled after they are demolished, but many however cannot be recycled. Over the past 10 years Bee Green Recycling & Supply, LLC has developed outlets and processes for many of the recyclable materials encountered in C&D Debris. In the past, we took the “good” recyclable materials with the “bad” non-recyclable materials. We always classified the one on the same level as the other, as C&D (Construction & Demolition) Debris. Because that’s what it has always been.
However, over the years, there has been a great push to recycle more and more of the materials that are received into our facility. We make great effort to recycle or divert as much material from area landfills as we can. Not only is it better resource management and product stewardship, but it is usually better economically
