In its 10th year, America Recycles Day is dedicated to encouraging Americans to recycle and to buy recycled products.

Market Square Event, 11am-2pm

The Knoxville Recycling Coalition [1]will sponsor America Recycles Day Our main feature will be a large visual display that brings awareness to the 1,600 lbs. of garbage of which over half could be easily recycled but is thrown away by the average American. We be encouraging folks to fill out E-Recycling Pledge Cards. By signing a electronic pledge card the individual is committing to the responsibility of their own waste. The pledge card will also sign them up to win a prize! We'll also be giving a compost workshop at 12:30 and 1:00 from the main stage, and selling compost bins for $50.
