Recycling helps protect
the environment

Recycling reduces the need for extracting

(mining, quarrying and logging), refining and
processing raw materials. All of these create
substantial air and water pollution.
As recycling saves energy it also reduces
greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to
tackle climate change.
How to Help the Environment by
Recycling
Curbside Recycling
Recycling Centers
Environmental Problems: Landfills
Some of the processes to control by
recycling:
Curbside Recycling
Curbside recycling services
are usually provided by the
same company that
handles garbage pick up
service in a particular area.
In some locations, curbside
recycling pickup is funded
by the municipality in
which the neighborhood is
located
Recycling Centers
Even if you aren't fortunate
enough to live in an area
that offers curbside
recycling pickup, it's likely
that there is a recycling
center of some type in your
community. Find out what
types of items your local
recycling facility accepts,
and start collecting items
for the center.
Landfills
The environmental
problem of landfills is a
difficult issue to fix. As
more waste ends in
landfills, the bigger the
problem gets. Products
that are
not biodegradable or are
slow to decompose, like
plastic, can remain in
landfill sites for centuries,
often emitting gases that
could be harmful to the
environment.
waste ends in landfills
The EPA fact sheet (pg. 7, fig. 8),
shows the landfill is composed of
the following waste, which could
easily be recycled:
21% of food, the largest
component of landfill
14% of paper and paperboard
10% of rubber, leather and textiles
18% of plastic
