Did you know that Hudson Valley Community College generates about 102 cubic yards of solid waste every week and that it costs about $48,000 a year for landfill disposal? Recycling will save money and reduce landfill usage.
Last year, the college recycled 62.5 tons of paper and 54 cubic yards of cans and bottles! Let’s keep it up!
