2. Process of Recycling
Collection of waste materials can be done in two ways:
1. Bring waste materials to collection centers like junk
shops or the barangay waste management center where
there are separate containers for different types of trash.
2. Pick up from residences where every barangay has a
schedule of garden collection.

bottom edges on the cut side of the paper. Lay it flat on the edge of
the table and place a heavy object at the center near the cut edge to
keep pages compressed.

times until you have a coat of clear glue that holds the edges
together.
5. Remove the clip binders once the glue has dried completely.
