Definition of recycle Recycling is processing used materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials. Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste saying.

What not recycling is doing to our environment. Our landfills are already too full with non-degradable items and trash that are renewable, but we have to make people see what this is doing to our environment. It’s not just the burning of fossil fuels that destroys our protection layers, but also piles of waste. Without recycling our wastes, the rubbish will completely encircle and swallow the forests. Decomposing waste regularly releases harmful gases and chemicals at landfill sites. These released gases and chemicals results in air pollution and contamination of water when these chemicals percolate in ground water. Just imagine what we are inheriting our coming generation
