Do You Recycle? Take the Pledge!

Pledge to recycle at least two paper products a week!

In our house, we recycle much more than we throw away.  Our trash can goes to the road half-full every other week, simply because I don't like it to sit longer than that.  However, recycling can sometimes be confusing.  Often, people aren't sure what they can or can't recycle.  My husband is always trying to recycle our pizza boxes, which is a big no-no!  I often refer to our local recycling website to stay on top of what we can recycle.    

Did you know that Americans generate more than 250 million TONS of garbage per year? To help educate Americans about the benefits of recycling and encourage them to recycle more, Yesterday’s News, a cat litter made with recycled paper products, is launching its Rethink “Litter!” Recycling Campaign.  The campaign invites Americans go to the Yesterday’s News Facebook page to take a pledge to recycle two paper products a week for twelve weeks.  Recyclable paper products include newspapers, magazines, junk mail and phone books, among others. For every pledge received, the cat litter brand will make a $1 donation (up to $5,000) to Keep America Beautiful – an organization focused on litter prevention, waste reduction and recycling. In addition, the Yesterday’s News brand will make a $10,000 donation to the nonprofit.  While on the Facebook page, consumers can also enter a weekly sweepstakes for a chance to win a $50 Giftback® Card, redeemable at giftback.com, with 10 percent of the purchase donated to Keep America Beautiful!


Yesterday’s News is a cat litter made from recycled materials including paper and sawdust. On average, 44 million pounds of paper is recycled intoYesterday’s News each year. Yesterday’s News brand cat litter is manufactured by Nestlé Purina PetCare Company which promotes responsible pet care, humane education, community involvement and the positive bond between people and their pets.
