Recyclable waste is the waste that can be reprocessed and used again. Waste recycling depends on the separation of the recyclable residuals from non-recyclable ones and on the classification of the recyclable into plastics, metals, papers, etc. The function of the selective waste collection is to ease that separation for the waste to be sorted in the point of origin. Selective collection also helps the creation of environmental conscience in the people that produce the waste.
