America Recycles Day Resources

America Recycles Day (ARD) is held on November 15th every year and is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the United States. America Recycles Day educates and encourages individuals on how to be more mindful of what they consume, where and how to properly recycle, and to pledge to recycle more and recycle right in their everyday lives.

2026 America Recycles Day in Oklahoma!

The Oklahoma Recycling Association encourages everyone to take part in our ARD pledge to responsibly dispose of batteries by recycling them.

Email us at your name and where you’re from to join our pledge to recycle batteries at the end of life!

By taking our pledge, you will be entered into a drawing to win an OKRA T-shirt and a reusable bag! Who doesn’t love a free T-shirt and a reusable bag?!
