Recycling Saves Energy!

Baltimore County residents can help save energy by recycling. And we've created a series of mini-posters to show you how! Download these free posters and print as many as you like or email them to your friends, relatives or teachers. If you have visited this page before take another look because all the posters have been redesigned. 

Posters

1. The Rewards of Recycling Can Take You Places! (PDF)
A recycled six-pack of aluminum cans could save enough energy to drive a car five miles.

2. What A Waste! (PDF)
The energy equivalent of 16.3 barrels of oil is used when one ton of plastic bottles is produced.

3. Plug In To Steel Recycling! (PDF)
Steel recycling saves enough energy to electrically power the equivalent of 18 million homes for a year. 

4. Surf The Web On Recycled Cans! (PDF)
Recycling one aluminum can saves enough electricity to run a computer for three hours.

5. The Paper Mill (PDF)
Americans waste 500,000 trees every Sunday by throwing away their newspapers instead of recycling them.

6. Did You Know? (PDF)
20 cans can be produced from recycled aluminum with the same amount of energy it takes to manufacture a single can from raw materials!

7. Steel Recycling: A Bright Idea! (PDF)
The energy saved from recycling one pound of steel could power and incandescent 60-watt light bulb for over a day or an energy-saving 60-watt equivalent CFL for over four days!
