Recycling
Recycling is an attempt to ease the rate at which we waste our limited natural resources. Many cities now have curbside recycling programs to reduce the number of landfills. Many states and cities now have mandatory recycling laws that require return -use or payment of container deposits on beverages. But the United States has no mandatory federal recycling law.
