Governor encourages recycling on America Recycles Day

Today is being celebrated as America Recycles Day in Indiana.

Gov. Eric Holcomb’s office made the announcement yesterday that the state would be celebrating the day as a way to remind you of the importance of recycling, which they say brings economic, environmental, and social benefits to communities.

More than half of Indiana’s waste now goes to landfills or incinerators instead of being recycled. On America Recycles Day the governor asks you to reduce waste, make recycling an everyday habit and to buy recycled products when possible.
