Recycling is the process of collecting materials that are often considered trash and remanufacturing them into new products that can be resold and used again. It is made possible by people who separate the recyclable products from their trash and send the items to a recycling center where the products are reprocessed into new items. Recycling can also include reusing products for different purposes in your own home instead of throwing them away, such as using an old coffee can as a planter or a milk carton as a bird feeder.
Impacts of recycling:

Well india is importing lots of electronic wastes from foreign nations and had a very good second market but actually people i.e the labour who go to collect the garbage are badly effected as the do not wear any masks and its always a challenge for them to collect the garbage to bring it back to the person who gave money to collect the garbage......
With this the health of people is damaged but wat the people wants is only money neglecting their health ......and all this make INDIA stand at NO.1 at SECOND HAND MARKET!!!
