Observe - Sorting the Recyclables

Sorting is an important part of recycling.  Because so many kinds of things can be recycled, they need to be sorted first.  Recyclable materials can be sorted into groups such as paper, plastic, glass, and metal.  After items are sorted, they can be sent to the proper facility for recycling.  Become a waste-sorting pro by playing the sorting games!
