Trash and garbage are collected and taken to landfills for disposal. At landfills, some materials are separated for recycling. Plastics, metals, paper, and glass can be recycled, while organic waste and other materials break down over time. However, some materials like plastic bags and bottles may take hundreds of years to degrade. Recycling helps reduce environmental impacts like cutting down of trees, reduction of water sources, and loss of land to garbage. People can help by reducing disposable items, reusing materials, and choosing products with less packaging to create less trash.
