"We're proud to be a sponsor for the Northwest Indiana Earth Day Event," said Neil Samahon, CEO of Metro Recycling. "We want to engage the community in the benefits of recycling and provide educational resources on all the various types of materials that can be recycled."

The 8th annual Northwest Indiana Earth Day Event is open to the public. Metro Recycling will feature coloring stations, recycle organizing, material education, games and more.

Earth Day 2013 will be an event to learn how to reduce your ecological footprint. Metro Recycling and other Earth Day participants want to work with the community to decrease the amount of waste harming the earth.
