THANK YOU FOR RECYCLING, YOUR EFFORTS DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Answer 2

In the US that uses so much, there should be a nation wide program versus by locality. That way there would be: 1) one central administration, 2) Increase in jobs in the labour sector 3) the public would have a clear understanding of rules and practices of the recycling program 4) more marterial would be recycled - great for the enironment 5) greater understanding why we recycle, and the critical issues that effect our choices everyday 6) higher % of the next generation recycling But right now it all depends on where you live, I live in a city called North ogden, and that city is considered to be a bit posh! so every two weeks there is a bin up pick up - trash collection - for the recycle bins. But the city next to us, does not have the recycling program. Even though that city is only divided by about ten yeards still there is no recycling there.

Answer 3

Recycling is the reprocessing of materials into new products. So most of the things you have around the house can be recycled by being reused in a new and practical way.

Some of the materials that we can recicle are:
1. glass
2. paper
3. aluminium
4. asphalt
5. iron
6. textiles
7. plastics
8. printer ink cartridges & toners
9. ships (form of recycling called "ship breaking")
10. wood...

Its also good to know that biodegradable waste, such as food waste or garden waste, is also recyclable with the help of some micro-organisms through composting or by anaerobic digestion. That include fruit and vegetable peels, coffee, leaves, etc.

Other sensitive material that must be recycle because they can have toxic components are: electrical equipment, such as:
1. old computers
2. mobile phones
3. batteries

Answer 4

During the course of history, Americans have recycled a host of materials, ranging from corn husks used for mattress stuffing to old clothes used for quilts. Today, household recyclables include newspapers, mixed waste paper, glass, tin, aluminum, steel, copper, plastics, batteries, yard debris, wood, and used oil. Commercial recyclables include scrap metals, concrete, plastics, corrugated cardboard, and other nonferrous scrap material.

They also include paper, asphalt, iron and textiles. Biodegradable waste, such as food waste, garden waste and some animal waste, is also recyclable with the assistance of micro-organisms through composting or anaerobic digestion.

Answer 5

Taylor,
My favorite types of recycling are: turning junk into art. My brother welds so he uses scrap metal to make interesting sculpture for the garden. He turned a bike sprocket into a flower and a car muffler into bird.
I take round cardboard oatmeal boxed, remove the label and paint,draw with markers, design fun containers for storing stuff.
You get the idea, use your imagination!
