[Jim Lynch]

Hi Everybody,

Brandon Bray at the U.S. EPA (yes they're still alive) just asked me to let ya'll know about this.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of America Recycles Day (ARD), an annual celebration that occurs every November 15th. In celebration of this, EPA will be sending out recycling posts on our social media accounts leading up to and on November 15th. America Recycles Day is a great opportunity for your organization to share its accomplishments around electronics recycling, so please consider joining EPA in spreading the message about electronics recycling by creating your own tweets and/or retweeting some of the sample tweets below. 

 

Hashtags to Use Surrounding ARD

#AmericaRecyclesDay, #BeRecyled, #Recycle, and #RecycleMore are our hashtags for America Recycles Day, and #eCycling and #ElectronicChallenge are our hashtags for the Electronics Challenge. We encourage you to use them in your social media posts.
