Who We AreWe are a Hatteras Island based recycling service focusing on the visitor population. In our first year, the 2007 summer season, Hatteras Recycle diverted 30 tons of recyclable bottles, cans (glass, plastic & aluminum), cardboard and newspaper from area landfills. This was done with just one small commercial vehicle and 2 people! All of our recycled material goes into Dare County's recycling program where it is sold in recycling markets. Dare County's cooperation is essential to our success. We currently service over 700 houses (vacation and residential) on Hatteras Island with 2 orange trucks and a crew of 7. Get InvolvedAccording to the 2007 Gallup Environmental Poll, the most popular environmental action of Americans is recycling. An impressive 89% of all Americans report that they participate in recycling, according to the March 2007 poll. Recycling ranks higher than actions to save energy (85%), green buying (70%), donating to environmental causes (43%) or joining an environmental group (19%). Recycling is popular, pure and simple, and this can be celebrated. |
