NORA Celebrates America Recycles Day 

November 15^th is America Recycles Day, the only nationally recognized day dedicated to encouraging Americans to recycle and to buy recycled products.

“NORA congratulates America Recycles Day for reaching its 11^th year,” stated NORA Executive Director Scott D. Parker. “Each year, NORA members collect millions of gallons of used oil and recycle it to generate energy or re-refined lubricants. America Recycles Day is a wonderful opportunity to remind all Americans about the environmental and economic benefits of recycling materials, including used oil and related resources.”

NORA, An Association of Responsible Recyclers (NORA) is a trade association of 225 companies involved in responsibly recycling used oil and related materials that would otherwise negatively impact the environment. Instead, NORA members work every day to ensure these resources are collected, recycled and given another useful life.

NORA provides information and materials about the importance of properly recycling used oil to local governments as well as school systems and universities.

Parker assisted in the creation of America Recycles Day in 1997 and served as the Co-Chairman of the organization in 1998.
