We’ve added six new stations to our in-flight recycling program!
Last month, Baltimore, Denver, Ft. Lauderdale, Raleigh-Durham, San Francisco, and Washington, DC began recycling on all flights and nearly 25 more stations will join them mid-July. See complete list below.
Since the beginning of the program in June 2007, our flight attendants have helped raise $80,000 toward funding a Habitat for Humanity EarthCraft home being built in Jonesboro, Georgia this September. An EarthCraft home is built with energy efficient appliances and environmentally sustainable products and materials.
Our overall goal for the program is to reduce the amount of solid waste going into landfills and use revenue from recycling to support foundations such as Habitat for Humanity. The program also reduces our waste costs, which saves Delta money. Recycling is a prime example of how environmentally sustainable practices are not only the right thing to do, but also support our economic viability.
Next time you’re flying into one of the below cities, remember to recycle your aluminum cans, plastics bottles (caps can be left on), newspapers, and magazines.
- Atlanta, GA
- Baltimore, MD
- Cincinnati, OH
- Cleveland, OH
- Denver, CO

- Los Angeles, CA
- Portland, OR
- Raleigh-Durham, NC
- Salt Lake City, UT

Do you have any other recycling tips when traveling to share?
