Recycling
Practicing waste prevention first can help conserve our resources, while reusing items no longer needed by donating to friends or charity can increase the lifespan of our resources, decrease energy use, and decrease the need for landfill space.
When items cannot be reused then they should be recycled whenever possible. Recycling refers to the reuse of materials in their original form or the processing of used or waste materials to make acceptable for reuse.
