RECYCLING FACTS
The
Green Gazette
Bottles
Glass
Drink cans
In Britain, the milkman brings bottles of milk to houses and collects the empty ones. The empty bottles are then cleaned and refilled. Every milk bottle can be reused thirty times.
In industry, most glass is recycled. The glass is collected and sent to the factories. There it is broken up, melted and made into new glassware.
People throw away billions of cans every year all over the world. In Oregon, the government made a new law several years ago. They said that there must be a deposit on all drink cans. The deposit is returned when people bring the cans back for recycling.
Compost
Farmers have recycled their waste for thousands of years. They grow food for their animals and use the dung for fertilizing their fields. They also collect household and garden waste to make compost. Compost is a wonderful natural fertilizer. It help plants grow.
