Recycling chain
The recycling chain has several steps as follows:



• Origin: it can be domestic or industrial.
•Recovery: it can be done by public or private companies. Consists only of the collection and transportation of waste to the next link in the chain.
• transfer plants: it is a link or volunteer whois not always used. Here are mixed waste for transport over a lower cost (using larger containers or compactors more powerful).
• Plants classification (or separation) which classifies the waste andseparate the recoverable.
• Recycler end (or plant valuation): where finally recycled waste (paper, plastic, etc.), Stored (landfills) or used for energy production (cement, biogas, etc..)
Fordomestic source separation using containers of different colors located in urban or rural environments:
• Yellow bin (containers): This is required to deposit all kinds of light packaging and plasticcontainers (bottles, jars, bags, trays, etc.), Cans (drinks, preserves, etc..)
• Blue bin (paper and cardboard): In this container must be deposited cartons (boxes, trays, etc.) As well as newspapers,magazines, wrapping paper, propaganda, etc.. It is advisable to fold boxes so that they occupy minimum space inside the container.
• Green container (glass): In this container glass containers aredeposited.
• Container gray (organic): 1 in the deposited waste the rest that do not fit into the above groups, mainly biodegradable matter.
• Container red (hazardous waste): As mobile phones,...
