What is Recycling? • Reusing products. • Reused items may be taken to various locations to be made into a different or the same product. • Almost anything may be recycled! • Example: After finishing a can of soda pop, instead of throwing the can in the garbage can, place the can in a recycle bin. This can may be reused to make another soda pop can or a different product.
