The environment around us plays a key role in our lifestyle. Any changes in the environment may result in changes in our daily life. The environment is being subjected to large amounts of pollution, natural resource degradation, and uncontrollable population growth on a regular basis. The process of recycling is one of the most efficient ways to conserve the environment against pollution. The process of recycling refers to the reprocessing of materials used in manufacturing and materials consumed and discarded by consumers for the purpose of creating new products. The process of recycling requires specialized containers for holding and processing the waste.

Recycling containers are used as waste receptacles to collect and transport waste and recyclable waste from different locations. Recycling containers are used for daily household products such as old newspapers, old magazines, plastics, tin cans, soft drink bottles, and cereal box cartons. Other recycling containers help to recycle plastics, steel, food cans, aluminum beverage containers, corrugated cardboard, and paperboard. Recycling containers are of different types such as aluminum, plastic, steel or tin, glass, paper, and aseptic packaging containers. Most recycling containers are used commonly at offices, schools, public concerts, homes, churches, airports, bus stands and railway stations, amusement parks, movie theatres, shopping arcades, and other such places.

Recycling containers are available in various sizes to meet the needs of the consumers. The length, breadth, circumference, and volume differ. Most containers are made from specific components and utilize the unique properties of these components to collect and hold recyclable waste. While transferring waste to such containers it is important to follow the specified instructions. For example, aluminum-recycling containers require removal of labels and separation of different metals, whereas glass-recycling containers don't require the removal of labels as the recycling process eventually involves burning of the glass bottles.

Recycling containers are eco-friendly conservation units and are a relatively new concept. People are still getting used to using these containers.
