How is this contributing to environmental citizenship?

Recycling bins contribute to environmental citizenship as they are used on a daily basis to keep the community clean and tidy. Recycling waste is good for the environment as it helps to reduce quantities of waste going to landfill sites so that we have prolonged use of these sites. The bins engage citizens in the global importance recycling has in helping to reduce global warming and make these citizens feel they are contributing to a larger cause.
