More than half a million babies are born each year to mothers carrying the chorioamnionitis infection in the fetal membrane.

The Specific Benefits of Aluminum Recycling

A successful businessman in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania, Larry Wittig is a certified public accountant who manages the accounting firm Wittig CPA’s. In addition, Larry Wittig serves as the president of Tamaqua Transfer & Recycling, Inc., a waste disposal and recycling company.

Recycling delivers multiple benefits from both an economic and environmental perspective. Recycling not only cuts down on the amount of trash that piles up in the landfill, but it also saves energy by making new products from recycled materials. For instance, recycling 1 ton of aluminum conserves 14,000 kilowatt hours of energy and saves 39.6 barrels of oil. A ton of recycled aluminum also frees up 10 cubic yards of landfill space.

To best prepare aluminum products for recycling, make sure they are well rinsed out, and crush the cans to save space. Practicing good recycling habits with aluminum, plastic, glass, and other materials can significantly reduce the amount of trash people contribute to a landfill, which is about 600 times a person’s adult weight over their lifetime.

Other places to ask for scrap metal include office buildings renovations and demolition sites. Other places to look for scrap metal include auto repair shops and plumbing companies.
