New York Recycles! Day promotes recycling and buying recycled in New York State and occurs every year on November 15. Schools, businesses, community organizations, and others are encouraged to organize or attend events featuring waste reduction, reuse, recycling, composting, and buying recycled.
New York Recycles! is part of a national event - America Recycles. America Recycles is one of the most comprehensive recycling awareness campaigns in the nation. Each year gives the opportunity for people to become better informed about the advantages of recycling and buying recycled products as a result of the group's efforts.
New York Recycles also encourages waste reduction, reuse, and composting in addition to recycling. This effort can be supported by sponsoring and encouraging others to host a recycling or buy recycled (or waste reduction, reuse or composting) event at places like libraries, places of worship, businesses, government agencies, schools, and civic organizations.
