Abstract: For some people’s view Recycling would be seen to start from the homes, but for the scientist it would be seen to start from the factory. It is a kind of good practice to the environment. Recycling has started solving part of the environmental and atmospheric problems, which we might not see now but would benefit the future generations. Sometime ago, metals were removed from the ground before planting crops, especially around our homes just because they do not know where to dispose them off. Now it is very difficult to find metals just lying on the ground anywhere as it was in the past. Metals, in any form have now been turned into wealth, and people are chasing metals for business. Used plastics have also been turned into business where people go around and pick used plastic water sachets and sell, in the name of recycling and making money. These are all forms of ways by which our environment is been cleaned up. Towns and cities are been paraded by individuals in the search of metals and plastics. There is a custom in Ghana which use beads in celebrating a yearly occasion, so recycling of broken bottles into beads have been an occupation for people in that community.
