Americans think they are recycling correctly but are they really?
Recycling provides many opportunities along with many challenges. I have an optimistic view that most people make a genuine effort to recycle. Surprisingly, one of the biggest challenges in the recycling industry isn't the effort of the people, it's overenthusiastic attempts to actually recycle the un-recyclable. There are a lot of old rules, mix messages and misinformed recycling messages out there. Waste Management even stated that they lost 1 billion dollars in revenue is because they have not educated their customer properly. We agree! We are looking to improve and we want to open up this post as a forum to have you ask us your questions!

This year we are celebrating our first bring your child to work day in our new offices in Teaneck. We have an overwhelming number of participants this year and can not be more excited! We have activities and seminars planned for the kids and hope they walk away learning something new. Maybe even gain a little more appreciation for what Mom and Dad do everyday.

These are questions we all have! At the Action Environmental Group we are facing the same problems as Waste Management in customer education. We realize that customer education is KEY into making recycling successful and Waste Management's CEO explains why
