Here are some interesting facts about trash during the holidays:
Americans throw away more trash
Americans throw away 25–43% more trash between Thanksgiving and New Year’s than at other times of the year. This is equivalent to an extra 25 million tons of garbage, or about 1 million extra tons per week.
Gift wrapping is a big contributor
Gift wrapping is a big contributor to holiday waste. For example, if every American family reused just 2 feet of ribbon for gift wrapping, they could save enough ribbon to tie a bow around the entire planet.
Recycling tips
To reduce waste, you can:
- Flatten cardboard boxes and containers
- Remove bows and ribbons before recycling wrapping paper
- Empty food from card, paper, glass, and tins
- Don’t recycle shiny card or paper with glitter or metallic effects
New Year resolutions don’t have to be just about improving yourself, they can also be about improving our environment.
Organize your own clean up event or join Keep Arkansas Beautiful volunteer groups.
The Big Game can lead to some big waste. On average, consumer trash volume doubles this day compared to that of any regular NFL game. While planning your game day meals and activities, remember to opt-in for reusable plates and silverware when possible and always recycle.
