Earth Day 2025

Earth Day will take place this year on Tuesday, April 22, 2025.

EDCO, a leader in innovative refuse management and recycling solutions, reaffirms its commitment to environmental stewardship by sharing valuable recycling tips and facts to promote waste reduction, recycling, and organics recycling. As stewards of the environment, we recognize the importance of this global event in inspiring our local communities and businesses to take active steps toward a cleaner, greener future.

Simple Steps for a Greener Future:
• Reduce Waste: Start by minimizing single-use items and embracing reusable alternatives. Simple choices, like using refillable water bottles and bags, can significantly reduce landfill contributions.
• Recycling Basics: Familiarize yourself with our recycling guidelines. Sorting paper, plastics, and metals correctly ensures these materials are efficiently processed and repurposed.
• Organics Recycling: Placing food scraps and yard waste in your green containers transforms what would have been garbage into nutrient-rich soil. EDCO’s organics recycling program not only reduces methane emissions from landfills but also supports sustainable gardening.

Recycling Facts to Inspire Action:
• Recycling one ton of paper can save up to 17 trees and dramatically reduce water and energy usage.
• Efficient recycling and proper waste sorting can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, helping to combat climate change.
• Organics recycling diverts biodegradable waste from landfills, turning it into a resource that enriches soil and supports local agriculture.

EDCO remains dedicated to promoting a cleaner, more sustainable future for all!
