Recycling Day at the Tusc. County Fair: Your chance to earn free passes to the fair

There’s a new event at the Tuscarawas County Fair this year and if FREE fair passes sound interesting, you won’t want to miss this!

From Tuscarawas County Fair’s Grand and Reserve Champion sponsors, Novelis and Kimble, comes Recycling Day. A chance for you to bring your aluminum cans and turn them into fair passes. Free entry to the fair meets sustainable practices! Here’s a message from one of the events’ sponsors.. 

“As the world’s largest recycler of aluminum and a leading producer of flat-rolled aluminum, recycling and sustainability are at the core of Novelis. We are proud to support Recycle Day at the Tuscarawas County Fair in an effort to bring attention to the very important role recycling plays towards sustainability. 

Aluminum can be recycled an infinite number of times.  It is among the most environmentally friendly metals on the planet – strong, durable, flexible, impermeable, lightweight, corrosion-resistant and 100% recyclable.  Novelis Uhrichsville recycles over 360 million pounds of aluminum scrap per year – this is equivalent to nearly 13 billion cans! Recycling aluminum helps reduce the drain on natural resources and removes unnecessary products going to the landfills.  This project allows us to capture a valuable resource used locally to help “shape a sustainable world together” with our community.”

-Terri McClain with Grand Champion Sponsor, Novelis
