Recycling Speech
Introduction: Person A ____________________
Hello everybody. We are Youth Linc 4. My name is _____________, this is _______________
and ____________________________.
Today we are presenting about recycling. Recycling is taking garbage, or things we are finished
with, and using it again.
So, why should we recycle?
First of all, we need to keep the environment clean. For example, recycling helps to keep the city
and our school clean and organized.
Second, recycling helps keep the garbage pile down. All the cans and bottles we save and recycle
don’t go into the garbage. When things go into the garbage they are there forever. When things
are recycled, we use them again.

Third, recycled cans and bottles are made into new things when they go to the recycling center.
For Example:
Aluminum cans become new cans.
Plastic bottles are made into jackets and vests.
Glass becomes insulation for homes and white and yellow paint for the streets.
Refillable beer bottles are returned to the beer companies and used again.
Milk and Juice containers become cardboard boxes.
Bi metal cans become scrap metal and rebar.

The money we get at the school will be used for two things.
One, we will give some of the money to a charity or the student fund to pay for fieldtrip
buses.
Two, our class gets to keep some of the money.
