America Recycles day began one hot day in Texas, where AIT’s flagship facility stands. Two employees for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Kevin Teurff and Valerie Davis, created Texas Recycles Day and held it as a day to observe a special dedication to recycling in an effort to make the environment a more sustainable place. With their effort, they proposed the idea to the National Recycling Coalition, and the rest was history: America Recycles Day became a federal holiday. Even more, recycling has increased 7% since the 1960s, raising the recycling rate to 32%.

Large achievements are many small steps away. CyrusOne datacenters have taken their steps with AIT. Electronic Recycling in an effort to create large-scale change.
