Answer 1

Recycling is the reprocessing of materials into new products. Recycling generally prevents the waste of potentially useful materials, reduces the consumption of raw materials and reduces energy usage, and hence greenhouse gas emissions, compared to virgin production.[1] Recycling is a key concept of modern waste management and is the third component of the waste hierarchy.

Recyclable materials, also called "recyclables" or "recyclates", may originate from a wide range of sources including the home and industry. They include glass, paper, aluminium, asphalt, iron, textiles and plastics. Biodegradable waste, such as food waste or garden waste, is also recyclable with the assistance of micro-organisms through composting or anaerobic digestion.

Recyclates need to be sorted and separated into material types. Contamination of the recylates with other materials must be prevented to increase the recyclates value and facilitate easier reprocessing for the ultimate recycling facility. This sorting can be performed either by the producer of the waste or within semi- or fully-automated materials recovery facilities.

There are two common household methods of helping increase recycling. In curbside collection (UK: kerbside collection) consumers leave presorted materials for recycling in front of their property, typically in boxes or sacks to be collected by a recycling vehicle. Alternatively, with a "bring" or carry-in system, the householder may take the materials to collection points, such as transfer stations or civic amenity sites, where recyclates are placed into recycling bins based on the type of material.

Recycling does not include reuse where items retain their existing form for other purposes without the need for reproducing. That said it does include regiving where simply ownership changes as items are gifted from one owner to another.

Answer 2

Newspapers, cardboard, plastic tubs and containers, glass and aluminum can all be recycled.
They go in the recycle bin and off to the plant where they are all separated and melted down or reused.
The plastic bags can be made into post-consumer bags that are labled as such. Doing this creates less plastic in landfills because platic doesn't break down and decompose like paper.. If the paper is recycled and used again, trees won't have to be cut down to make more paper. So the air will be cleaner and animals will have a place to call home.

Answer 3

You can recycle many kinds of materials. You might want to keep several bags or boxes in your trash area and show her how to separate and store them. For example, newspapers, phone books and other non-glossy paper can be recycled. Also aluminum cans can go in another bag or box and that material can be collected by the city or dropped off at recycling centers for money in some areas. you can also collect glass jars and bottles in another place and some states you can return these glass (even plastic bottles in some areas) for deposit money.

The materials that are collected are either cleaned and reused (ie: glass bottles), melted down, chopped up and reprocessed into new material. Paper can be remade and used in cartons, or even new greeting cards and stationery. Glass can be crumbled and made into new bottles or even to make highways.

The way it is useful is that reusing materials saves natural resources, such as trees that are ground up to make pulp for paper, and space in landfills and dumps for materials that are thrown away.

Answer 4

You've already got great answers about recycling, hope you and your daughter find a routine that works for you. :)

To really make an impact about recycling, I would recommend taking a trip to your local dump. It's gross... and disheartening...

First-hand experience seeing how much unnecessary waste we produce can be the super-glue of a recycling lifestyle. If you go, talk about the garbage you see and how quickly it got there... and how much more will be there tomorrow.

Then talk about how you can make a difference.

Then tell your friends!
