Camping is the number one outdoor vacation activity in America, according to the Travel Industry Association trade group. They also report that one-third of adults in the U.S. have gone on camping trips in the past five years. Camping continues to be a strong and viable vacation option even in this uncertain economy. Many retirees opt for camping in their golden years, rather than staying in their homes. Families are also going tent and RV camping more frequently these days.

Most of us take the time to recycle at home. But when you are visiting different campgrounds, it is not as easy to recycle when the option is not made available to you. Surprisingly, many campgrounds do not recycle.

If a campground doesn't provide recycling receptacles for their visitors, the limited space in an RV can fill quickly while the visitor stores recyclables to be offloaded once they've left the park. Campgrounds need to make recycling containers available to the growing number of campers.

Recycling opportunities for campers and picnickers exist at all five full-facility Broward County, Florida campgrounds.  Broward County has been utilizing the Profile 6 Recycling containers to make it more convenient for campers to maintain their recycling programs when out in the wilderness, thus reducing their carbon footprint while visiting the beauty of nature.

The Profile line of containers, manufactured by the Fibrex Group, are very attractive in appearance and easy to use. Made from quality fiberglass with a high gloss gelcoat finish, these containers need little maintenance and will perform beautifully year after year.

It seems logical that campgrounds would be one of the most obvious places to be green and close the loop.  If you would like more information on how you can implement a recycling program at your state park, campground or picnic area contact the Fibrex Group.

With the summer months come family vacations and road trips. How many of you have stopped at one of the numerous Welcome Centers or Rest Areas at the side of the road en-route to your destination? Keeping these respites attractive, landscaped and clean is imperative to the face of the city or state in which they are located. The Town of Nags Head's Welcome Center in North Carolina understands this and has incorporated the Profile 6 recycling container in their welcome center and various locations throughout the beach community.

Rest stops are built to allow motorists to rest on long trips, eat, refuel, and get directions and brochures from the information booth. Most states across the country have rest stops within the first 10 miles of their state border for tourists to visit. The point is to allow the motorist a place to stop without putting them on unfamiliar roads.  Since there is a large amount of waste generated at welcome centers on the highway, recycling containers are a must.

Welcome Centers and Rest Areas set the tone and image of the state in which they are located. It is essential to make it convenient for visitors to continue their practice of recycling while on vacation, as well as maintaining the ecology of the locality.  For more information on Recycling containers for the welcome centers and rest areas in your state, contact the Fibrex Group today.
