Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall is a top recycling airport, according to a recent report from the Natural Resources Defense Council.

BWI was one of six airports cited in the group’s findings for having a top recycling program. BWI recycles about 27 percent (or 700 tons) of its waste per month, which saves the facility $15,000 a month in fees paid to area landfills. The Seattle-Tacoma airport saved the most money by recycling — $180,000 a month according to the report.
