Recycle
Recycling is the process of taking a product at the end of its useful life and using all or part of it to make another product. The graphic at left is the internationally recognized symbol for recycling; the arrows go around in a circle because recycling is an infinite process. Each arrow represents a different part of the recycling process from collection to remanufacture to resale. Recycling reduces our garbage level, and making new products out of recycled ones reduces the amount of energy needed in production.
Recycling can take place at your home, your school or anywhere that you see a bin with the recycling symbol. Examples of some commonly recycled products include paper, aluminum cans and glass. For more information on recycling, click here.
