Recycling centres are being used more because people are sorting their household waste into trash and recyclables, instead of throwing everything away.By trying to manage household waste, people use different ways of recycling, composting and regular recycling. With composting, food is taken and made into organic fertilizer, and with recycling, all the paper goods, plastic, bottles and cans are taken to be reused for different things. In the long run they will help create less land fill and toxic waste. “Going green” can mean to just use eco-friendly products, starting to compost, and using locally grown foods. Doing these things can also help create less toxic waste.



Waste That Can Be Recycled
-Paper(magazines, cardboard boxes, mail, regular paper)

-Glass(jars)

-Plastic(milk cartons, bottles)

-Metals(cans)

-Foods can be composted which is another form of recycling.

The History of Waste Management
The history of waste starts from around 3000 BC, waste consisted of bones,bodies, and ashes to the present day where the waste is from trash to recycled items to composted items. Most of our waste is landfill, and we don't want that. Now that we have the knowledge that we have to much waste, we try to reduce, reuse and recycle - the 3 R's. By doing these three things, we can cut down on our waste and go green.
