Today is America Recycles Day.
The national recycling rate has increased over the past 30 years, but is still at just 34-percent. The City of Port St Lucie will be helping residents take a pledge to recycle more throughout the day. Those who take the pledge say they will find out what materials are collected for recycling in their communities; take actions within the next 30 days to recycle more, buy products made with recycled content, and reduce their waste; and encourage one family member or friend to take the pledge themselves. You can take the pledge online at America Recycles Day dot org slash pledge.
