Recycling is process of reusing or reconditioning materials or products so they can be used to make new products. Recycling, when done correctly, conserves natural resources and lowers the impact of producing goods and services using new or virgin material.

Typically you must take your recyclables to a recycling center although some communities are fortunate enough to have curb-side pick up of recycable materials.
