I have been hearing about a lot of problems with China and recycling in general. Does recycling even make sense anymore and why should I bother?

Recycling is always a better option than landfilling it (as long as it is recyclable – when in doubt, find out!).  Bottles and cans are some of the easier and better materials to recycle with a huge energy, natural resources, and cost savings. Recycling one aluminum saves enough energy to power a computer for three hours, while plastic bottles can be recycled into clothes, insulation, and more!  Please visit www.naparecycling.com for details on what is accepted Napa’s recycling and composting curbside program.
