Recycling old products and other materials is an essential part of sustainable economy and environment because the build-up of non recycled masses will hurt the ecological balance of the earth and lead to negative consequences on our lives. Since it takes a long time to see the results of such disregard about the garbage and non recycled materials, not many people do care about it and are concerned about it. I can see that few of the people in my social circle take into the consideration the ecological outcomes of their daily decisions. Every plastic, paper and other material that is not recycled finds its way to a dump and will not degrade back to its ingredients for a long time unless it is recycled. It is much more harder to recycle waste if it is not classified. The biggest issue I have seen was in my dorm, the recycling bins were used interchangeably with the rubbish bins. This makes the process of recycling a lot longer and expensive. This reduces the effectiveness and impact of recycling which is already not on a sufficient level in Turkey. If people do not care about environmental impact of non recycled old products and other materials the future will not be as good, clean and healthy as we want it to be.
