Families, businesses and apartments are forbidden to dispose of recyclable items in the trash can. For companies, this includes the prohibition of processing cardboard, paper, and waste from garden waste. In apartments and houses, handling glasses, paper, cardboard, aluminum, plastic for garbage is prohibited. In companies and apartments, labels are displayed if the garbage collector detects that more than 10% of the containers are filled with recyclable ones. On the third tab, a commercial or apartment tenant receives a $ 50 fine. However, the family does not face the risk of being fined. If the garbage collector finds that more than 10% of the garbage contains recyclable ones, they will ask the family to collect garbage and recyclable waste separately and leave labels next week.

Another form of recycling is composting. Composting is the decomposition of organic matter (such as food and garbage in the garden) into humus (like soil). Composting is a way of recycling organic waste into new soil for nature and it can be used for vegetables and flower gardens, landscaping and many other uses. In 2006, the data on urban solid waste generated in the United States shows that 12.9% of the 251 million tons of solid waste generated are garden waste and 12.4% are food waste . Most food waste arises from food processing, before and after consumers' use, and from places within the facility (hospitals, universities, etc.).
