What is Recycling Day: What Happens to the Things We Throw Away about?

Join Misha and her family on bin day as they sort through items to discard. Discover the journey of recyclables—from collection by Holly's lorry to processing by Stan's metal-can machine—and learn how materials like paper, glass, and plastic are transformed into new products. This engaging picture book introduces the people, vehicles, and processes involved in recycling, encouraging children to reduce waste and reuse items to make every day a 'not-for-the-bin day'.
