Waste Materials That Are Recyclable

Wood
Wood waste coming from houses, construction sites, and
old furniture can be processed and introduced as new
products. They can be turned into wood tiles, garden
accessories, wooden utensils, chairs, and wooden
decorations at home.
Waste Materials That Are Recyclable

Metal
Tins and cans as packaging or container of food and drinks
are made of metal and aluminum. They are good materials
for recycling. They are even sold to junkshops where
companies of food and drinks buy them to be reused to
conserve energy and other resources.
Waste Materials That Are Recyclable
Paper
Old newspapers, old notebooks, old letters, cardboard, junk
office papers, and paper packaging are examples of paper
waste. These materials can be processed and recycled into
something useful and unique like paper baskets, paper-
Mache, paper flowers, paper bags, and other decorative
paper figures.
Waste Materials That Are Recyclable
Plastic
Empty plastic bottles and containers of soft drinks, water,
oil, and other products are great recyclable materials. The
plastics are soft and bendable. They can be cut with scissors
and cutters to form them into figures like flowers, animals,
butterflies, and other decorative products. Huge plastic
bottles are even made as pots for flowers and vegetables.
Waste Materials That Are Recyclable
Glass
Glass among others is the easiest material to reuse or
recycle. Empty bottles of various products come in different
variants, colors, and sizes. They are best turned into wall
decors, flower vases, and holders of artificial or fresh
flowers. Empty wine glasses add elegance to the wall and
cabinets of the house when displayed artistically.

Summary
Recyclables refer to materials that can be recycled or reused
after they are discarded. By properly disposing of these
materials in designated recycling bins, we can help to
conserve natural resources, reduce waste, and promote a
more sustainable future. It's important to ensure that
recyclables are clean and free from contaminants to prevent
contamination of the recycling stream. While recycling is
generally considered safe, there are some health risks
associated with handling certain types of recyclable waste.
It's important to wear appropriate protective equipment,
such as gloves and safety goggles when handling potentially
hazardous recyclable materials. Additionally, it's important to
follow proper procedures for disposing of hazardous waste,
such as taking it to a designated hazardous waste facility.
