America Recycles Day (ARD), November 15, is celebrating its 10th year and support is

bigger and better than ever. Millions of Americans are taking the pledge to recycle 

and buy recycled products. State Coordinators around the world are joining forces this 

year with the National Recycling Coalition (NRC) to support local communities to raise 

awareness of the importance of recycling and buying recycled materials through education 

and providing assistance with organizing recycling related events in their area.

The purpose of America Recycles Day is to continue to promote the social, environmental 

and economic benefits of recycling and encourage more people to join the movement toward 

creating a better natural environment.
