More Americans recycle than vote, but in many Texas communities recycling is lagging in part because some landfill operators cut corners and undercut recycling programs. In addition, too few products are designed for recycling.

Dear State Representative Paxton,
I am writing to urge you to support initiatives to spur recycling in Texas. We can’t afford to trash our future.
I applaud the State Legislature for passing a Computer TakeBack law for Texas. Now, please support legislation that would compel more manufacturers to provide consumers with free, convenient, responsible and effective recycling options for their products.
Also, please support a state recycling refund bill that will create jobs in the recycling industry while keeping beverage container waste out of our waterways and communities. If you give people a financial incentive to recycle, they won’t waste the opportunity to protect natural resources.
Please respond to my comments in writing, or via email at:
Sincerely,
Theresa L. Largusa
