Recycling can really help the environment in different ways.

Some examples of how recycling helps the environment is it reduces waste destined for landfills and incinerators, it conserves natural resources, like wood, water and minerals, and it saves a great amount of energy overall.





Usually in recycling used consumer goods are collected, recycled into raw materials and transformed into new consumer products. Recycling is done because of the harm that trash in landfills has on the environment. Landfills take up a large amount of space and also leak chemicals which can pollute surrounding areas.




The most commonly recycled items are glass, paper, and steel
