- Cost effective; recycling helps homesteads and industries save an extra coin. Recycled items are always cheaper compared to completely new ones. Besides, some waste companies will pay home owners a small fee for the all the waste that can be recycled. Even for an office, it is easier to purchase recycled waste bins for instance, compared to buying completely new ones from a manufacturer.
- Sustainable; Recycling is the only sustainable form of waste disposal. It gives one the peace of mind to know that all the waste they have generated has been safely disposed of, and in a way that does little if any harm to the environment. Recycling is more than just a way to dispose of your waste; it is a way of life, and a sustainable one for that matter.
