November 15th is America Recycles Day

America Recycles Day (ARD) is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to encouraging Americans to recycle and buy recycled products. Since its inception in 1997, the ARD campaign has grown to include millions of Americans pledging to increase their recycling habits at home and work, and to buy products made with recycled materials. Year after year, residents in every state of the nation participated in America Recycles Day events.
On November 15th each year, millions of people have become better informed about the importance of recycling at home and work, and about buying recycled products as a result of the national America Recycles Day campaign.
In addition to the President of the United States declaring November 15th America Recycles Day, many state and local governments issued proclamations and resolutions in support of the national recycling day. On November 15th, from 11-2 in Market Square there will be an exciting display of the average American’s trash that shouldn’t be missed. There will also be various recycling groups with booths set up. Learn more about recycling in Knoxville.
