By recycling as much as we can, we send less trash to the local landfill which means that it will not fill up too fast causing another to be built. Recycling also saves our natural resources and energy. Recycling reduces the need to cut down trees to make paper, reduces the need for petroleum to make plastic bottles, and reduces the mining and processing needed to make glass and metal containers.
