Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful envisions a world in balance. A world where everything that is created is a resource for something else, and every person takes responsibility for the resources they use, ensuring proper/sustainable disposal.
As a society our goals should not be to limit our negative impact on the environment, but to have an actual positive one. This is the only way to create a sustainable future. Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful is the local advocate for these changes. We are not alone. We work with global companies, local businesses, community organizations, and individuals to improve recycling, implement composting, eliminate litter, reduce single use plastics, and make other “green” and sustainable
decisions.
We estimate that we annually impact the recycling of:
- 756 Tons of Aluminum
- 1583 Tons of Glass
- 2646 Tons of Plastic
- 1886 Tons of Paper
This means for every $10 donated we save:
- 11 Gallons of Oil
- 80 Hours of Electricity
- 130 Gallons of Water
- 1⁄2 a Tree
