newell recycling association

Recycling refers to the process of collecting used materials usually considered as 'waste' and reprocessing them. In this process these used materials are sorted and processed for use as 'raw materials' for the production of new products. Recycling varies from 'reuse' in the sense that while reuse just means using old products repeatedly, recycling means using the core elements of an old product as raw material to manufacture new goods.

Operated by a local non-profit association formed in 1992, the centre oversees recycling for the City of Brooks and County of Newell which includes Duchess, Rosemary, Tilley, Patricia, Rolling Hills, Scandia, Gem and Lake Newell Resort.
