Residents participating in the city of Dalton curbside recycling program.


People participating in the city of Dalton curbside recycling program gathered more than one million pounds of recyclables products during the first six months of 2010.

According to the city of Dalton Curbside Recycling Report, produced by the Dalton-Whitfield Regional Solid Waste Authority’s Materials Recovery Facility or Recycling Center,Some 550.1 tons or 1.1 million pounds of recyclables were collected during the months of January to June.

Recycling takes a product at the end of its utility and makes the best use of it by utilizing all or part of it to make another product instead of more garbage. Plastic bottles, such as water and soda bottles, yield enough fiber to make one extra large T-shirt, one square foot of carpet, or enough fiber to fill one ski jacket. That’s the equivalent of a stack of newspapers 5.95 miles long.

The destination for this year is 1,200 tons or 2,4 million pounds. Products collected for recycling include papea square foot carpet, aluminum cans, bi-metal, Dalton curbside recycling program, glass bottles, jars, large T-shirt, plastic and glass bottles, plastic bottles, recyclables, ski jacket, tin cansr, magazines, newspaper, cardboard, plastic bottles and jugs with the No. 1 or No. 2 recycling symbol, aluminum cans, bi-metal or tin cans, and glass bottles and jars that are clear, brown, green or blue.

At present recycling unused products has been an important issue to save the environment. It helps to protect the environment, a profitable business as well.
