What do recycling companies do with recycling?(Abby)
Before the recycling companies even get to have the recycling their is a process. House: People sort recycling by themselves or the management of a building does. Collector: a collector collects the recycling and takes it into a recycling base. Buyer: a buyer at the recycling base buys the recycling off the collector. Transporter: the buyers pay a transporter to transport the recycling to a recycling place. Recycling: finally the actual company gets to recycle.

Because from a society and enviorment point of view recycling is much better than just throwing it away.
