“Recycling turns things into other things. Which is like MAGIC.”
– Anonymous
This is often lost on many of us as we never see the process in action. But the truth is that most all the waste materials that don’t end up in the trash can be processed and made into raw material for making new products. For example, this is often the case for used cans and other metal trash items.
And the truth is that metal recycling can result in a wide variety of new things almost endlessly. That’s because almost every metal can be recycled and reused infinitely – if they don’t end up in landfills instead. Fortunately, it has become quite simple for most people to put a beverage can or even small metal trash their recycling containers.
But what about those times when your metal junk and waste doesn’t fit into any of the recycling bins?
Considering the Importance of Recycling
“Listen up, you couch potatoes: each recycled beer can saves enough electricity to run a television for three hours.”
– Dennis Hayes, author and environmental lobbyist
Everyone agrees that recycling is a good thing. And no one really believes that all of the waste and garbage we generate ought to be hauled off to landfills. Which is a good thing except that, while we all agree with the practice of recycling, it’s not always easy to make that happen.
And a good question to ask at this point might be, “Why does recycling matter?”
Well, recycling is important for several good reasons, such as:
- - Conserving natural resources: Recycling helps to conserve natural resources like minerals, oil, and trees, while reducing the need for extracting new raw materials for manufacturing
- - Reducing waste: Recycling helps to reduce the amount of waste in landfills that takes up valuable space and creates environmental problems.
- - Conserving energy: Less energy is used to recycle than for extracting new raw materials. For example, recycling aluminum cans uses 95 percent less energy than making new ones.
- - Reducing greenhouse gases: Recycling helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that result from the production of new materials.
- - Creating jobs: Recycling creates hundreds of thousands of jobs in industries like waste management, recycling, and manufacturing.
In other words, recycling matters because it helps reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and protect the environment.
And one of the most common materials that seem to show up everywhere and in everything is metal. This could be steel, aluminum, copper, tin, or even iron. And the best part about metals when it comes to recycling is that they can all be recycled over and over again almost endlessly.
But how do you get large, bulk metal items recycled?
