The City <br />of Arden Hills is teaming up with the metro counties to assure you that recycling is no <br />myth. It’s real and it works here. <br />Minnesota is home to many recycling facilities that collect, sort, process and <br />manufacture items made from the bottles, boxes and other containers you put in <br />your recycling cart every day. When you put the right items in your recycling cart, they <br />become new products, locally and regionally. <br />Glass bottles and jars are sorted by color in Saint Paul. Clear glass is sent to Shakopee to <br />make bottles for drinks, pickles, salad dressing and more. <br />Plastic milk and laundry detergent jugs are made into durable decking, fencing and <br />landscaping products in Paynesville, and plastic drink bottles and produce containers are <br />made into new plastic bottles in Wisconsin and Ohio. <br />Recycled paper and cardboard are made into cereal and cracker boxes in Saint Paul. <br />Recycled food cans are made into new products like wire, and parts for cars and <br />appliances in the Midwest. <br />Local efforts to recycle and reduce waste save energy, protect resources and support <br />about 78,000 jobs in the state. Annually, the Twin Cities metro area recycles an average of 900,000 tons of paper and <br />cardboard, metal, glass and plastic – that’s the weight of about four large cruise ships! <br />You can be proud that recycling works in Minnesota. <br />Learn more at RecyclingExists.com.
