Subaru Shares Insider’s Look at Trash in the U.S.

Trash. It’s everywhere. Would you consider yourself tossing the average amount of trash in a single week—that would be 4.3 pounds—or less than that? If you’re like most typical Americans, this works out to 223.6 pounds of trash per person each year. A lot, isn’t it?

Multiply that number by all the people living in our country. This means that approximately 220 million tons of waste is generated each year. Some is recycled and some composted, but the bulk of it goes into the 3,500 landfills around the country. Do these statistic depress you? There’s hope.

Mollie Boyer talks about how reducing one’s trash output, even by a small amount, can have a big impact.

At Dellenbach Motors, we are proud of Subaru’s commitment to the environment. Its zero-waste manufacturing facilities are something that every Subaru driver can be delighted by.
