many reasons why we should recycle household waste. The main reason is to avoid using up valuable resources making new things when not necessary. However, I do not think the government should make compulsory for people to recycle their waste.
If the government makes a law that all households must recycle their rubbish, it could lead to more problems. For example, how can you check that people are recycling everything? . In addition, there is the argument that individuals should be allowed to decide for themselves whether to throw something away or to recycle it.
I believe the most sensible approach is for goverment to put more money into recycling schemes. The most successful are the ones where the government gives each household special boxes to put different kinds of waste in, and they provide a regular collection service. are separate boxes for plastic, metal, glass etc. This makes and they are therefore less likely to throw things in the rubbish bin.
