Congratulations Evendale residents! In 2008, you recycled 242 tons of metal, glass, plastic, and paper. Residents saved resources, conserved energy, and reduced pollution by recycling.
The recycling efforts in Evendale:
- Saved 2,127 trees
- Conserved enough energy to power 41 average homes for an entire year
- Avoided the need for 17 tons of iron ore, limestone, and coal

Recycling reduces pollution so the air we breathe is cleaner, conserves natural resources so we will have them to use in the future, and decreases the energy needed to make new products. Recycling also boosts our local economy by creating 169,000 jobs and $6 billion in annual wages just in the State of Ohio.
