Main Idea

• Taking material at the end of its use and turning it into useable material to make a new product.

• Most daily items are produced in factories and with the more items recycled the less toxin is released in the air.

• Products made from recyclable material require less energy in the process.

How to Recycle

• You can create separate bins and label them for separate recyclable items to avoid confusion with the trash

• Rinse things before you recycle them

• Keep recycling bins inside to avoid bad smell and animals from digging through it
