After a few years, you can reduce tons. Optimally, 70% of the garbage generated and discarded in a residential household is made up of materials that can be recycled, therefore, it is conceivable that for every 100 pounds of materials that normally would have been thrown away and taken to a landfill, 70 lbs. could have been diverted to a solid waste recycling facility. Since it is estimated that each household generates an average of 35 lbs of solid waste each day, the numbers add up. (35 lbs. x 365 days/yr = 12,775 lbs. or 6.39 tons)
