Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects.

It is an alternative to "conventional" waste disposal that can save material and help lower greenhouse gas emissions (compared to plastic production, for example).

Recycling can prevent the waste of potentially useful materials and reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, thereby reducing: energy usage, air pollution (from incineration), and water pollution (from landfilling).

Waste collection is a part of the process of waste management.

It is the transfer of solid waste from the point of use and disposal to the point of treatment or landfill.

Waste collection also includes the curbside collection of recyclable materials that technically are not waste, as part of a municipal landfill diversion program.

Municipal solid waste (MSW), commonly known as trash or garbage in the United States and as refuse or rubbish in Britain, is a waste type consisting of everyday items that are discarded by the public.

"Garbage" can also refer specifically to food waste, as in a garbage disposal; the two are sometimes collected separately.
