The average American produces 4.4lbs of trash per day, enough garbage to fill 63,000 garbage trucks, which if lined up end to end for an entire year would stretch half way to the moon. Here in Alabama that number is significantly higher, with the waste production per individual projected at 6.5lbs by the EPA.
These numbers are even more shocking when you take into account the fact that Americans represent 5% of the world's population, but generate 30% of the world's garbage. At the Mobile County Recycling Center we are working daily to advocate sustainability and to keep materials out of our communities' landfills.
