Hi, I'm Little Rex, and I'm here to talk to you about recycling, at home and in school. You might know my dad, he's Foamasaurus Rex, and he loves to recycle, especially foam, he really loves that stuff. But you might be asking, what is recycling? Well, recycling is the process of taking something old and used, and then turning it into something new, stopping it from going to the landfill, something like a bottle or a can. Many things can be recycled, but where you recycle determines how you recycle. Only certain items can be recycled at home or in school, due to how the items are collected. Here in Mecklenburg County, we can only recycle six items at home and school. Let me teach you how to recycle right, it's so easy.
