• Economic Contribution: The recycling sector creates new job opportunities.

What Materials Can Be Recycled?

1. Plastic: Water bottles, detergent containers, and plastic bags.
2. Paper and Cardboard: Newspapers, magazines, cardboard boxes.
3. Glass: Glass bottles, jars.
4. Metal: Aluminum cans, tin cans.
5. Electronic Waste (E-Waste): Phones, computers, and televisions that have reached the end of their lifespan.
