Have You Ever Thought About How Much Trash We Generate?

​Imagine if every family of four disposed of 8 bags of trash per week. That would be 416 bags per year for just one family In the United States alone, where the current population is 470.85 million people that would be 941.7 million trash bags per WEEK going into landfills!

​Items we use everyday can be hazardous especially if they are disposed of improperly.
 
Dumping home toxics down drains, sinks and toilets, or putting them in the trash could hurt your health and the environment around you.
