Recycling occurs in many different countries. It is when we take our trash that can be used to make more new products and a company takes it separately from the trash. For example, at my house, I have two trash bins...one for trash (things that can not be recycled) and one for recyclables (plastic, glass, metals, etc..) You can know if something is recyclable by checking the bottom of the container. It will have a symbol if it is possible to recycle. Then later it will be taken to create new bottles, containers, etc.
You might answer like this:
I try to recycle as much as I can. I hate the waste we are creating in the world so I do my part to make less trash and if it is possible, I will recycle the trash and products I no longer need/use.

Unfortunately, my town doesn't have a good recycling program so I can only recycle glass and plastic. I wish we had more options. I think it's important to take our trash and turn it into treasure.

I would never recycle. I think it is a waste of time. Trash is trash and we should just throw it in the garbage (some people might look at you a little oddly if this is your response though. Most people view recycling as a good thing).
