INTRODUCTION

3Rs refers to three terms often used when talking about waste: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.
Reducing is cutting back on the amount of trash we make, reusing is finding a new way to
use trash so that we don't have to throw it out, and recycling is using trash to remake new
goods that can be sold again. This training helps organization in starting a 3R system that
