Recycling reduces the volume of solid waste by enabling people to use the material in waste again
give it away, they are good things people like, but if its useless, break up different parts (rubber, plastic , metal if its on it) and put them in the corrisponding recycaling boxes
During WW II there was a tremendous demand for metal, to be used to manufacture tanks, bombs, bullets, and other military supplies. To keep up with this demand it was useful to recycle scrap metal.
