In many countries, people do not recycle waste materials, such as bottles and newspapers. What are the reasons for this? What could be done to solve this problem?

Recycling waste material is an important practice that helps to maintain our environment. Many people in some countries,

however

, do not recycle their rubbish. They often just discard things that can actually be recycled,

such

as water bottles, cartons, glasses, and newspapers. The lack of recycling may happen due to various reasons. In some countries,

for example

, society’s knowledge and awareness of recycling are very little because

this

concept is relatively new. There is no official recycling program, and folks are used to seeing all the rubbish going to the same

bin

.

Moreover

, kinfolks may find it inconvenient because they do not have a separate trashcan at home or they can not find a public recycling

bin

outside. In order to raise people’s interest in recycling, an awareness campaign is required. Pieces of information on why

this

is important, what the effects of not recycling are, which materials can be recycled, and what are benefits it can bring to our environment must be provided.

This

campaign can be done in many ways

such

as making an advertisement on the media. Recycling should be easier to do.

For instance

, by locating recycling bins

next

to each general

bin

. Home recycling should

also

be facilitated,

for example

by arranging frequent trash collections and providing people free recycling

bin

bags. Overall, it is the lack of awareness about the benefits of recycling and the reluctance of people to sort the misuse that prevents them from engaging with

this

useful practice. Once society fully understands its advantages and can recycle their wastage easily, I believe their behaviours will start to change.
