Recycling is a series of activities that includes collecting recyclable materials that would otherwise be considered waste, sorting and processing recyclables into raw materials such as fibers, and manufacturing raw materials into new products.
Recycling can be a fun family activity. It not only conserves our landfill space but it also teaches our children to respect and preserve their environment.
