The graph shows the amount of garbage collected and recycled annually in America (1) 960 and From 1960 to 1970 the amount of waste being recycled remained fairly (2) at just about 8%. However, this figure (3) significantly from 1970 to 1990 when it (4) at approximately 32% of the total waste collected. On the other hand, the amount of waste being produced increased (5) at around the same time, growing (6) approximately 40 million tonnes per year (7) 55 million tonnes within five years. Following this sharp (8) the amount of waste collected has risen (9), while the percentage of waste being recycled actually (10) from 32% to 26% (11) Fortunately, recycling has (12) increased and (13) 2005 it had again reached the same figure as in However, this figure is still disappointing (14) to the total amount of waste that is thrown away.
