Much of our stuff should be viewed as valuable resources instead of garbage. Recycling is a way to keep those resources in circulation and reduce waste. According to the latest data (2018) tracked by the US EPA, Americans generated an average of about 5 pounds of trash each day, a value on an upward trajectory. In addition to recycling, waste can be diverted for composting, animal feed, bio-based materials, and other uses. Most waste is buried in landfills, many of which will reach their total capacity in the next few decades.
