Specific difference between recyclable and non-recyclable garbage: The biggest difference between recyclable and non-recyclable garbage is whether the garbage can be reused.
In addition, even if some garbage can be reused, it should be classified as non-recyclable garbage because of its pollution after one use, such as pesticide packaging. These wastes need special treatment before they can be reused.
