Residents and businesses in the Rethink Recycling Twin Cities area recycle over 1.2 million tons of waste each year. That's about 38% of the garbage we generate. Impressive numbers? Yes, but we could do better. Approximately 1/3 of what we still throw away could be recycled. In addition, our population is growing and so is the amount of garbage we generate.
