Why Recycle?
Conserve Resources
The U.S. has 5% of the world's population but uses 25% of its natural resources. Recycling helps us consume less, without giving up things we need and want.
Reduce Trash
Recycling means less garbage is going into landfills.
Cleaner air and water
Re-using materials instead of incinerating or burying them will keep pollutants out of our air and ground water.
Reduce Greenhouse Gasses
Cutting down air pollution will help slow global warming.

Recycling pays! Your donation to the ReStore is tax deductible.
Create jobs
Recycling creates 6 times as many jobs as landfilling.
Save Energy
Making new products from recycled materials, takes less energy than starting with virgin materials. For example: 95% less energy to make cans from recycled aluminum vs. new aluminum.
Save Money
When you buy and re-use donated items from a Habitat ReStore, you'll save 30-75% off on your remodeling and redecorating projects.
Impress your kids
By recycling you'll let them know you care about the future. Their future. They'll also think you're very cool.
Save the Planet
It's never too late.
