Waste Collection: The waste collection process involves gathering and sorting waste materials from various sources. This can be done through municipal collection programs, commercial waste management services, or specialized collection centers.

Sorting and Segregation: After collection, the waste is sorted and segregated based on its type and composition. Different recyclable materials, such as paper, plastics, metals, and glass, are separated from non-recyclable or hazardous waste.

Transportation: Once the waste materials are sorted, they are transported to specialized recycling facilities. This transportation can be done using different methods, including trucks, trains, or ships, depending on the quantity and distance involved.

Specialized Recycling Facilities: At the recycling facilities, the waste materials undergo further processing. Specialized equipment and techniques are employed to break down and transform the waste into reusable materials. For example, paper waste can be pulped and turned into new paper products, while plastics can be melted and reformed into new plastic items.
