Which of the following can reduce the volume of recycled materials sent to recycling facilities?
A: Purchasing materials with recycled content
B: Installing recycling chutes
C: Using commingled recycling
D: Reusing materials

参考答案: D

本题解释:
A does not reduce the quantity of materials sent to recycling facilities.
B would increase the recycling rate.
C Implementing a recycling program would increase the recycling rate regardless if the recycling was commingled or not.
Commingled recycling uses a single bin to collect all materials for recycling vs. using a separate bin for each type of material - paper, plastic, glass, etc.

D To cut down on the volume of materials to be recycled reuse the materials instead of recycling them. An example is reusing water bottles or keeping paper for scrap paper instead of putting them in the recycle bins.
