Proper waste classification reduces landfill waste, minimizes pollution, and helps protect natural ecosystems by ensuring materials are recycled or disposed of correctly.

Resource Conservation

Effective sorting enables recycling of valuable materials, conserves natural resources, and reduces the energy needed for producing new products.

Proper waste classification reduces waste management costs, creates recycling industry jobs, and helps recover valuable materials that can be resold.

Public Health

Correct waste sorting prevents hazardous materials from contaminating the environment and reduces health risks to communities and waste workers.

Types of Waste

This model helps you sort your trash into these main groups:

  • Recyclables: Items like paper, cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, glass jars, and metal cans

The Recycling Process

  • Collection: Recyclable materials are collected from homes and businesses and transported to recycling facilities
  • Sorting: Materials are separated by type (paper, plastic, glass, metal) using both machines and manual sorting
  • Processing: Each material is cleaned, shredded or crushed, and processed into raw materials
  • Manufacturing: These processed materials are used to create new products, reducing the need for virgin resources

Every item you recycle goes through this journey to become something new!
