Recycle = return some materials into the production
Recycling is the processing of used materials so that they can be used again.
About 60% of industrial waste and household rubbish can be recycled. Recycling saves energy and raw materials. Recycling is environment-friendly.
Recyclable materials should be sorted and collected in recycling banks which are usually in the streets. There are specific colours used for each bank (e.g. yellow for the plastics, blue for the paper, etc.). Some materials and wastes are collected in collection yards. Collecting is also organized by local authorities.
You can collect:
glass, paper, plastics, cartons
aluminium and copper, iron and steel
old textiles
batteries
electric and electronic equipment and appliances
dangerous chemicals (paints, oils) etc
