Recycling
It has been said that the first metal recycling in the United States was in 1776 when a statue of King George III was melted down and turned into bullets. Further, recycling continued and noticed a notable jump during the World Wars. Today, recycling is not performed to supply war efforts, but rather, as a way to generate benefits to our environment, society, and economy. In 2005, 32 percent of the nation’s solid wastes were recycled (www.epa.gov).
