Collection and Processing
Collecting recyclables varies from community to community, but there are four primary methods:
curbside, drop-off centers, buy-back centers, and deposit/refund programs.Regardless of the method
used to collect the recyclables, the next leg of their journey is usually the same. . |

Manufacturing
Once cleaned and separated, the recyclables are ready to undergo the second part of the recycling
loop. More and more of today's products are being manufactured with total or partial recycled
content. . |

Purchasing Recycled Products
Purchasing recycled products completes the recycling loop. By "buying recycled," governments, as well
as businesses and individual consumers, each play an important role in making the recycling process
a success. . |
