2. What is Waste Recycling?
Recycling is processing used materials (waste) into new, useful products. This is done to reduce the use of raw materials that would have been used. Recycling also uses less energy and and great way of controlling air, water and land pollution. Effective recycling starts with household (or the place where the waste was created). Households then sort out the waste themselves and place them in the right bags for collection. This makes the work less difficult.

3. Recycling is Important
Recycling is important to both the natural environment and us.
Environmental Importance
Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste.
Recycling reduces the need for raw materials so that the rainforests can be preserved.
Recycling requires much less energy and therefore helps to preserve natural resources.
Importance To People
No space for waste.
Making products from raw materials costs much more than if they were made from recycled products.
Preserve natural resources for future generations.

4. What can you recycle?
These days, just about anything. The following is an easy list of recycling options to help you get the facts about recycling glass, plastic and electronics, paper, cardboard and auto supplies like tires and car batteries.

5. The Glass Recycling Process
The glass recycling process turns used glass products back into "new" glass products. By some estimates, recycling glass uses 40% less energy than creating new glass from silica sand, lime and soda ash. Recycled glass also creates about 20% less air pollution and 50% less water pollution. When glass is recycled, it is cleaned and separated by color. All other items, including plastic and metal caps, are also removed. Recycled glass is then crushed into a mixture called cullet, which is then sold back to glass manufacturing facilities.

6. A Guide to Plastic Recycling
Much of our modern world is made of plastic, so plastic recycling is more important than ever. There are a total of seven numbers (recycling symbols) assigned to plastics that identify the type of plastic resin used in the material, and how it can be reused. These numbers, referred to as the resin identification code, are used to sort plastics during the recycling process.

Recycling Cardboard
If you compost, cardboard can be used in your compost pile. It can also be used to line garden beds or as mulch for weed control. And, of course, you can reuse it as a cardboard box for shipping or storage. Recycling cardboard saves 25% of the energy needed to make new cardboard and is a more sustainable option than cutting down trees to make virgin paper or cardboard products.

8. Aluminum Recycling: Yes You Can
Recycling aluminum, steel and other metals is a much greener process that requires far less energy and creates much less pollution. By some estimates, recycling aluminum cans requires just 5% of the energy needed to make a new aluminum can

9. Recycling Oil, Tires and Other Auto Supplies
Before you dispose of oil -- from your car's oil change, from a boat motor, a motorcycle or even a chainsaw -- remember that it can be recycled and refined over and over again, and it maintains its quality. It takes about 42 gallons of crude oil to produce 2.5 quarts of motor oil, it takes just one gallon of used motor oil to be refined into the same amount of "new" motor oil.

10. Recycling Electronics
Recycling electronics and other e-waste isn't as easy as it should be, but with the amount of heavy metals and other hazardous components in TV sets, computers, cell phones, monitors and other electronic devices, it's important to get the facts on how to recycle electronics.
