Recycling is the reprocessing of used materials that would otherwise become waste in order to break them down and remake them into new products. This is in contrast with reuse: collecting waste such as food containers to be cleaned, refilled and resold. Recycling prevents the waste being sent to a landfill or incinerator, and reduces the consumption of new raw materials. Commonly recycled materials include glass, paper, aluminium, asphalt, steel and textiles. These materials can be derived either from pre-consumer waste (materials used in manufacturing) or post-consumer waste (materials discarded by the consumer). Recycling is a key concept of modern waste management.

@KernowCass Alternate recycling and black bag to replace alternate recycling and green waste - maybe a consultation could take care of that.
