clothes can be reused. We can donate old trees are saved every year.
clothes to the needy people.

Recycle

Recycling means converting used items into raw material and then making
new products from it.

Discarded products like paper, old magazines, newspapers, etc. can be
collected and processed into new paper products, such as envelopes,

notebooks, wrapping paper, etc. Non-biodegradable wastes like plastic, glass
and rubber can also be recycled.
Agencies Involved in Garbage Disposal

It is the responsibility of every individual to keep one’s surroundings clean.
But, the disposal of waste is done on a large scale. It is not a single person’s

job. There are many agencies involved in this job.

The sweepers collect the garbage from our homes and dump it in the
garbage dumps. Trucks of municipal corporation of the city take away this
garbage and dump it in the landfills.
