RECYCLE (and build a house)!!

The Habitat ReStore has teamed up with local businesses who want to build an Energy Star house and help the environment. They have pledged to collect 5 million cans and bottles to reach this goal. If every person in Morgan County brought us only 45 cans, then we could build a house!

Drop off your aluminum cans and plastic bottles (#1 and #2) at any of these Decatur locations:
□ Habitat ReStore, 620 Wilson Street NE
□ Avanti Computers, 1403 Beltline Road SW
□ Anderson’s Office Interiors, 430 Johnston Street SE
□ Gloria’s Good Health, 1820-L 6th Avenue SE
□ A & S Metals, 2540 Gordon Terry Parkway
□ The Maxwell Clinic, 1000 Beltline Road SW
□ P. Fagan Mortgage, 222 East Moulton Street

We also accept ink and toner cartridges for recycling. These can be dropped off at the ReStore or at the main Habitat office (3rd floor of Wachovia Bank, 254 East Moulton Street, Decatur).

When you participate in our recycling programs, you help the environment and bring hope to another needy family in our community.

Just for fun…
• Since 1997, Habitat affiliates across the country have raised over $1.6 million dollars by recycling. That’s enough to build 35 houses!
• Habitat affiliates have recycled over 3.8 million pounds of cans.
• Homes funded by aluminum can recycling have been built in Cleveland, Ohio; Denver, Colorado; Houston, Texas; Knoxville, Tennessee; Yuma, Arizona; LaGrange and Americus, Georgia, and many other locations across the country.
• Americans recycled $750 million worth of cans in 2002 - just one percent of that figure could build 150 Habitat for Humanity homes!
• Aluminum is the most recyclable of all materials. 100% of a can ends up as another can in as little as 60 days.
