| Paper Recycling FACTS: The use of recycled paper reduces the need for virgin material in paper manufacturing. This allows for fewer trees to be cut down for production. Making 1,000 kg of paper from recycled material conserves about 7,000 gallons of water, 17 to 31 trees and 4,000 kwh of electricity. Milling paper from recycled paper uses 20% less energy than to make paper from trees, with less pollution from transportation and chemical treatment. When organic materials like paper are disposed in landfills they decompose into biogas, containing methane, a greenhouse gas linked to global warming. TIPS: 1. Place a deskside paper bin in your cubicle where paper can be collected to be recycled, and replace your trash bins with smaller ones. With less space to store trash, you have to recycle your paper! You can see and request available bins here. 2. Save 50% of your paper by using both sides when printing or copying! Most printers have a default setting for double-sided printing. 3. Recycle your paper! The County has two approved vendors to collect and recycle paper. They will rebate your department a market rate for your paper and cardboard.
