America Recycles 2004
“It All Comes Back To You” 

America Recycles 2004 was formerly known as America Recycles Day. However, the group altered its identification in order to stress the importance of recycling on a year-round basis and is introducing an all-new graphic identity to its state coordinators. 

America Recycles 2004 announced its new name, look and theme at its annual meeting in August 2004. 

America Recycles 2004 is launching its 8th annual campaign to encourage Americans to recycle and buy recycled products. As part of its focus, the group has designated November 15 as America Recycles Day. 

America Recycles 2004 is one of the most comprehensive recycling awareness campaigns in the nation. Each year millions of people become better informed about the advantages of recycling at home and buying recycled products as a result of the group’s efforts. Last year, thousands signed pledges to recycle and buy recycled. Local and state governments issued proclamations and resolutions in support of the program. Hundreds of events were staged to support the campaign in almost every state.

The new theme the group is now using, It All Comes Back To You, presents an intentional multiple meaning. One interpretation is that a recycled product or material can return to consumers as another new product. A second is that recycling comes back to consumers as improved environment, preservation of resources and economic well-being of the country. And a third meaning is the implication that it is up to everyone to recycle. 

America Recycles 2004 maintains a website at www.americarecyclesday.org where you can go for information about events in your community, to sign an online pledge to recycle and to learn more about this year’s campaign.
