The when, why and where of re-cycling

recycling

When reducing and re-using are just not possible, recycle. Please!

Recycling involves processing used materials into new products in order to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from land-filling) by reducing the need for “conventional” waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production. (Via Wikipedia)

*   Do you already re-cycle? How? Did you know that your local council offers home-recycling bins or recycling banks and most of them accept old clothes or textiles in general?
