INTRODUCTION:
Recycling is a process to convert waste materials into reusable material to prevent waste of
reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution
(from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal and lower greenhouse
waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce,Reuse and Recycle" waste
hierarchy.
Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles
and electronics. The composting or other reuse of biodegradable waste such as food or
garden wasteis also considered recycling. Materials to be recycled are either brought to a
collection center or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned and reprocessed into
1. Plastic
Plastic include: soft drink bottles, mouthwash bottles, detergent, cleaners, milk and
juice jugs, shampoo bottles, bleach, and detergent containers. It can determine by the
type of recyclable plastic you have by looking on the bottom of the plastic for the
recycling symbol with a number in the middle, signifying the plastic type.
2. Paper
Aluminium can be recycled over and over again without any loss to quality. In fact, an
aluminium beverage container can be recycled and back on the shelf in 60 days. The
example of aluminium are beverage cans, aluminium foil, aluminium baking trays and
pie pans.
4. Glass
Recycled glass saves 50 percent energy versus virgin glass, and recycling just one glass
container saves enough energy to light a 100-watt bulb for four hours. The most likely
5. Computers
Computers can be recycled in a couple of ways, depending on the state of the machine.
Giving old, working computers to friends and family members or donating them to non-
profit organizations not only keeps the computer entirely out of the waste stream, but it
presents computer access to someone who might not otherwise be able to afford it.
1. Recycling bins: In the campus, the college party in collaboration with cleaning staff must
increase the number of recycling bins and must be located across campus, including outside
recycling islands. These bins need to be check daily by the Environmental Safety
2. Services staff members. Our current bin system includes 1 blue bin for all paper types and 1
gray bin are for plastics and aluminium. All cardboard must be flattened and placed behind
recycling bins. Ink cartridges, batteries, or cell phones can be placed in a separate container
3. Eagle Box: Those interested in participating in the campuss recycling program will be
provided a cardboard box called an Eagle Box or a blue recycling waste bin, if available.
This box is for conveniently collecting recycled material at the participants desk. Once the
Eagle Box is full, empty it in the larger recycling containers located in hallways, offices, or
and especially in campus. We learned about waste and how some waste can be reused
or recycled into other products. Thus, recycling can be a greatest success if all the
