Trash to treasure

What is trash?  Trash in this context would mean " things thought to be worthless or that have been thrown away". Treasure is simply a "valuable or valued item". The way  to turn your trash to treasure is by recycling.

Recycling is "the collection and often reprocessing of discarded materials for reuse". Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics.The benefit of recycling are as follows:
-Reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators
- Prevents pollution caused by reducing the need to collect new raw materials
- Reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change
- Helps sustain the environment for future generations
