Summary:

Recycling can have multiple meanings. "To some, it is the stacking of newspapers andseparating of cans and bottles from the trash. To others, it is the program that collectsthose materials. And, to still others, it is just another waste disposal program." Recyclingprograms in the House of Representatives and the Senate have taken two approaches: recycling ofmaterial as part of the overall congressional waste disposal program and purchasing productsmade from recycled materials. In each case, the House and the Senate encourage participationthrough educational outreach.
