Paper Recycling Facts

• Recycling 1 ton of paper (2000 lbs.) saves 17 mature trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 2 barrels of oil, and 4,100 kilowatt-hours of electricity--enough energy to power the average American home for five months. The 17 trees saved can absorb a total of 250 pounds of carbon from the air each year. Burning that same ton of paper would create 1500 pounds of carbon dioxide.
