How to Join in for America Recycles Day Nov. 15

Wednesday, Nov. 15th is America Recycles Day, an initiative led by Keep America Beautiful that promotes and celebrates recycling in the U.S. Take time this week to check in on the recycling programs at your home or office, and to consider how you can ensure any materials that can be reused or recycled are diverted from landfills on your future projects.
