What Is Recycling

Recycling means taking materials from products you have finished using and making brand new products with them. For example, most of the aluminum cans in the United States are made with recycled aluminum.

Making new things from recycled ones takes less money, less energy, and less of the Earth’s resources. Because less energy is used, factories in the United States don’t release as much pollution either.

Recycling starts with people separating recyclable materials from their other trash. The separated recyclable materials are collected by recycling programs, processed and then sold to manufacturers for use in new products.
