Happy America Recycles Day! 

As we celebrate America Recycles Day this week, the Carton Council is also celebrating 10 years of carton recycling! Formed in 2009, we have worked with countless stakeholders to help build the infrastructure to grow household access to food and beverage carton recycling to nearly 61%, representing a 238% increase in 10 years.

The Carton Council recognizes that recycling happens at the local level and is especially grateful to those who recognize the value in carton recycling. Some carton recycling champion communities include Napa City and Napa County, CA; the City of San Diego and San Diego County, CA; Fort Collins, CO; Brookfield, CT; Central Virginia, which includes 13 localities in the Richmond area; Northern Cook County, IL; Anoka County, MN; Becker County, MN; Minneapolis, MN; and New York, NY.
