RECYCLING IN THE CITY OF LONG BEACH
Recycling refers to the practice of taking back used materials such as glass, paper, metal, and plastic and using them to make new products. Recycling helps reduce the use of natural resources such as trees and oil.
Before recycling, consider ways to reduce waste or to reuse. The City offers lots of tips to reduce and reuse. Learn more here. Recycling is important because it allows us to collect waste material so it can be made into new items and prevent that material from becoming trash or litter.
