Although there are absolutely no national regulations to deal with recycling in the U.S., majority of the states are taking the matter pretty seriously. Approximately 13 laws have, of late, enacted legislations that has managed to create various recycling centers, while others seems to have imposed weekly recycling pick-ups and suitable fines, successfully. While the Environmental Protection Agency, also referred to as EPA, supervises waste management at national level, a federal set of regulations are yet to be enforced that help deal with recycling specifically. These are the laws for disposing of commercial wastes; however, it still ought to spill over into the residential field.

Legally and safely getting rid of waste materials, in many states, can be incredibly profitable. For instance, in a lot states across the country, you can receive as much as 10 cents for every plastic bottle or glass you recycle. Many places have trash cans and bins specifically designed for depositing recyclable materials. If you are a Miami resident and want to clean up your house and get rid of that recyclable junk, check out Junk Removal 123 for Miami junk removal services.

Recently released data indicates that recycling is on the increase throughout the country, even in numerous states where it is not mandatory for people to do so. In general, the amount of municipal junk created by the U.S. population decreased by 5 percent, and more than 60 million tons of recyclable junk was gathered last year, which is indeed an astounding amount for a nation that doesn’t have mandatory regulations and instead handle recycling waste material on a state-to-state basis. Fortunately, the number has kept on increasing over the last few years. The amount collected last year is about one million tons more than the amount gathered in 2010 and three million tons more than the amount gathered in 2007.

Did you know household recyclable waste materials accounted for the most number of tons being recycled during the past year? This indicates that the message to keeping the environment sage and recycle is getting across to everyone. Whether you are a commercial Akron junk removal candidate or a residential one, Dump-Eaze would be a great option. They have been offering high-quality junk removal services to their clients for a very long time, and their services are expected to help you get rid of the waste materials you have in your house and recycle them.

More and more residents seem to see the countless benefits of recycling. Recycling garden and home waste significantly helps the immediate neighborhood and our beloved planet in general. People appear to be more inclined towards purchasing recycling bins. One thing that needs to be addressed, however, is the choice of materials that can or cannot be recycled. People need to have a clear understanding of what is recyclable and what is not. Some states offer various programs for residential areas that offer this essential information to the residents, but there are some who are not making this effort. The thing that we need to understand is that, in many cases, the lack of awareness can have severe consequences.

Aluminum Recycling Facts

A used aluminum can is recycled and back on the grocery shelf as a new can, in as little as 60 days. That's closed loop recycling at its finest!

Used aluminum beverage cans are the most recycled item in the U.S., but other types of aluminum, such as siding, gutters, car components, storm window frames, and lawn furniture can also be recycled.

Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours -- or the equivalent of a half a gallon of gasoline.

More aluminum goes into beverage cans than any other product.

Because so many of them are recycled, aluminum cans account for less than 1% of the total U.S. waste stream, according to EPA estimates.

An aluminum can that is thrown away will still be a can 500 years from now!

There is no limit to the amount of times an aluminum can be recycled.

We use over 80,000,000,000 aluminum soda cans every year.

At one time, aluminum was more valuable than gold!

A 60-watt light bulb can be run for over a day on the amount of energy saved by recycling 1 pound of steel. In one year in the United States, the recycling of steel saves enough energy to heat and light 18,000,000 homes!

The northwestern African kingdom of Morocco chronically suffers the problem of water scarcity. Fortunately, one school in this former French colony gets to benefit from a recently installed recycling facility that employs a technology similar to what is being used by astronauts at the International Space Station. This facility is now making water recycling possible, producing clean water that is safe for human consumption.

The school is in Sidi Taibi, some 30 kilometers away from the Moroccan capital, Rabat. It now has the first ever public facility in the world to be able to use a space recycling technology developed by the European Space Agency (ESA). The facility was put up through the collaborative efforts of the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the University of Kenitra, and two Europe based companies.

Facility Overview

The water treatment facility is a spinoff from the currently progressing ESA research into closed-loop life support systems. It is a self-sustaining unit that comes with its own power generating components (solar panels and a wind turbine). Water treatment is done through a set of organic and ceramic membranes that act as filters. These membranes have minute micropores with diameters approximately 700 times smaller than the average diameter of a human hair strand. It is capable of filtering out extremely small impurities and contamination in water, particularly nitrates that come from agricultural fertilizers.

The facility is intended for space use but it was also tested under terrestrial conditions. ESA did evaluations on the effectiveness of the system under the Earth’s atmosphere at research station Concordia in Antarctica. For 9 years now, the Concordia water treatment facility has been providing clean water to research staff stationed in the area. The water treated or recycled by the facility comes from the water used by dishwashers, washing machines, and showers.

Planned Scaling Up

Serving 1,200 students, the wastewater treatment facility in Sidi Taïbi is bigger than the one at ESA’s Concordia base, which only serves a maximum of 16 people. If it performs well, there are plans to scale it up ten times bigger than its current service capacity. The facility may then be used to supply clean water for the bigger Sidi Taïbi community.

So far, there have been no problems encountered. The water produced hasn’t caused any health problems to those who used or consumed it. The facility is also very low on maintenance. It does not require frequent cleaning or adjustments. As reported on Morocco World News, the space technology based water treatment unit has been doing great, providing potable water to students, teachers, and staff of the school.

Water recycling is nothing new but seeing how institutions and business entities are working together to provide a reliable water treatment solution to a water-deprived area is indeed a great development. Hopefully, there will be more efforts from both the private and government sectors to bring hi-tech water treatment solutions to other areas that are in dire need of clean drinking water, especially as many parts of the world are expected to suffer the wrath of global warming.
