What Happens to Recycling?
A sunny morning on a street of houses with trees. A girl of eight with light skin and a long brown ponytail, in a plain blue top and jeans, helps her mom, who has light skin and short gray-blonde hair and wears a green jacket, roll a big blue bin with a lid to the curb. Down the street, a large green recycling truck is coming.
First, rinse your empty cans and plastic bottles. Put them in the recycling bin with old paper and flat boxes.
