Another year has gone by and
a new recycling schedule is
here. As always, I would like
to reiterate the importance of
recycling for both environmental
and fiscal reasons.
A message from the mayor:
You, our residents, are the
main reason why we have
such programs in town and
your participation in our
recycling efforts is much
appreciated. I ask that you
recognitions and programs
like Tree City USA, Clean
Communities, being home to
New Jersey's largest Rain
Garden and many more.
Have a great holiday season,
and I look forward to seeing
you around town!
continue to help keep
Rahway green by embodying
our principles of: Reduce,
Reuse, and Recycle.

RECYCLING FACTS
■ Americans make more than 200 million tons of garbage each year, enough to fill Citi Field
from top to bottom twice a day.
■ The EPA estimates that 75% of the American waste stream is recyclable, but we only
recycle about 30% of it.
■ Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to listen to a full album on your iPod.
■ The Container Recycling Institute (CRI) estimates that the 36 billion aluminum cans
landfilled last year had a scrap value of more than $600 million.
■ A glass container can go from a recycling bin to a store shelf in as few as 30 days.
■ Recycling is thought to be an ancient practice, with cultures in pre-industrial times
melting down old pots and swords to make new ones.
■ If you chopped down a 15-year-old tree and used it to make paper grocery bags,
you'd wind up with about 700. That's roughly the number of bags your local
supermarket goes through in an hour.
■ It takes nearly 500,000 trees to produce the weekly Sunday newspaper.
