How does a recycling center work?
Recycling centers collect materials and process them to reuse as new products. It's a great way to reduce waste and is a great solution to reduce the environmental impact of landfills. Local trash and waste management services will typically collect items such as paper, plastic, glass bottles, aluminum cans, and cartons in recycling bins. But they don't often take larger items.
