cestino della raccolta differenziata

a designated container or receptacle used for collecting recyclable materials, such as paper, plastic, glass, or metal, in order to facilitate their proper recycling and reduce waste

What is a "recycle bin"?

A recycle bin is a container used to collect items that can be recycled, such as paper, plastic, metal, and glass. These bins are typically marked with a recycling symbol and are found in homes, offices, and public places to encourage people to separate recyclable materials from regular trash. Recycle bins are often color-coded or labeled to make it easier to sort different types of recyclable materials. The contents of a recycle bin are later taken to a recycling facility, where they are processed and reused to make new products, helping reduce waste and save resources.
