Your Questions About Recycling

The Expert answers:

You recycle the tings we recycle becuase you want to continue to recycle becuz then it is a cycle that continues on and on and our garbage will decrease.
If we don’t eventually, with our growing population and diminishing land, we will be ‘swimming in garbage’ We will have too much garbage that we wouldn’t know what to do with it.

Point of the matter is, JUST follow the 3R’s Reuse, Reduce, Recycle.

The Expert answers:

Recycling helps eliminate waste, which in return reduces the amount of trash in our landfills. Our landfills are already overflowing, so if we reuse and recycle items we can stop the pollution from invading our water, land and air.

The Expert answers:

Recycling is processing used materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for “conventional” waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.[1][2] Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” waste hierarchy.

Recycle more and buy recycled. Save up to 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide each year just by recycling half of your household waste. By recycling and buying products with recycled content you also save energy, resources and landfill space!

HD9975 is for the recycling industry.

Laws related to recycling are scattered throughout the K’s, classed with laws for each country
KF5510 for U.S. Laws relating to recycling of waste

Technology of recycling falls in the T’s. The most general class is TD794.5, but you’ll also find works that address recycling throughout the TD’s, since that class is for Environmental technology and Sanitary engineering.

Works on recycling a certain type of material are classed with other works on that material, for example:
TD897.845 Recycling of factory wastes
TP859.7 Glass recycling
TP1175.R43 Recycling of polymers and plastics
TS1120.5 Paper recycling
N8541 Recycling of art materials

Yes, it really does!
In Western Massachusetts we send all paper recycling to a mill in our state that makes hard book covers and board games. ALL of the millions of copies of the hard book covers of the last Harry Potter book were made directly from our region’s paper recycling. Our 78 western Mass towns were paid between $30-$50 per ton for the 32,000 tons of paper and cardboard they sent to the mill in 2006. In a healthy market like we had in ’06, that’s about $1,120,000 total revenue for our towns. (That’s a conservative estimate, it could be more!)

It takes 95% less energy to recycle aluminum than it does to make it from raw materials. Making recycled steel saves 60%, recycled plastic 70%, and recycled glass 40%.

Recycling a single soda can saves the energy equivalent of a cup of gasoline. A can thrown into a recycling bin can become another can on a store shelf in as little as 60 days.

Recycling saves wildlife habitat, saves money, and saves a gigantic amount of energy. It just makes plain sense to use what we have already extracted from the earth again and again rather than going back to the mine or the forest and extracting raw materials. It is much much cheaper and less energy intensive for manufacturers to use recycled materials than raw materials.

The recycling infrastructure would not be there if it were not saving money for our towns and cities.

Much of what we buy today has recycled content in it.

The Expert answers:

We have a special recycling bin which we can use to put paper, cardboard, plastic bottles and packaging and cans in. We also have a bottle bin which goes off to be recycled too. Our bins are collected alternative weeks (i.e one week household waste, the next week recycling) but if they collected both each week or the recycling each week i would recycle more as our bin gets too full and i end up just putting the rest in with the household waste. If we want a bigger bin WE have to pay for it. Other areas are stricted and have bins for paper, bins for plastic, bins for tins and so on. You can also use the recycling points in lots of car parks/ supermarket car parks. Main thing to seperate is paper as you will throw away alot more than you realise
