Paper and plastics recycling. On average 25 pounds of plastics, paper, mail, periodicals recycled every 2 weeks.

This program reduces our miles driven as we no longer need to drive to the store to purchase new ink and to return cartridges. ($22). We recycle electronic waste. We paid to have old air conditioners properly disposed of with the Burlington County recycling facility when we upgraded our office air conditioning system to a more energy efficient model.
