−	Recycling refers to the reuse or ~~recover~~ of materials that would normally be considered waste. There are a few different methods of recycling such as: physical reprocessing, biological reprocessing, and energy recovery~~. People are always looking for new ways as well to recycle materials because of the constant issues we are having with waste in our environment~~.	+	Recycling refers to the reuse or recovery of materials that would normally be considered waste. There are a few different methods of recycling such as: physical reprocessing, biological reprocessing, and energy recovery.

−	One of the most ~~popular method~~ of recycling is physical reprocessing~~. This is common in most countries~~. This is the method of taking waste materials such as empty beverage containers and using the material to create new materials. Normally, waste materials that can be physically reprocessed are ~~usually~~ collected by the local government and are then reprocessed into new products. Some common materials that are physically reprocessed include: aluminium beverage cans, steel food cans, glass bottles, newspapers, magazines, and cardboard.	+	One of the most common methods of recycling is physical reprocessing.

Some common materials that are physically reprocessed include: aluminium beverage cans, steel food cans, glass bottles, newspapers, magazines, and cardboard.

−	~~Biological reprocessing is another common method of recycling that many people do.~~ Materials such as plants, food scraps, and paper products can be decomposed into ~~the~~ organic matter. The organic matter that is produced from this type of recycling can then be used for ~~such~~ things as landscaping ~~purpose~~ or agricultural uses.

−	The final method of of recycling is energy recovery. This method harnesses directly and indirectly the combustion fuel and other types of fuel produced from ~~grab~~ waste. These types of fuel can be produced by thermal treatment of the waste and used for such ~~things~~ as cooking or ~~heating.

−	The avoidance and reduction of waste is a very important part of waste management~~. By reducing waste it helps the environment and everyone in it~~. Some methods of avoidance include the reuse of second-hand products, repairing broken items and using them again, and designing products that are reusable. ~~Consumers are encouraged to not use disposable products and use products are designed to help the environment.~~	+	The avoidance and reduction of waste is a very important part of waste management.

−	There are some countries that do not do this method properly and it can cause such issues as wind-blown litter, attraction of vermin, and generation of liquid leachate (the liquid that drains from a landfill).
