WordNet records no synonym and no antonym for recycling. It is the only member of each of its synsets, which is common for technical, taxonomic and single-sense vocabulary — there is no other English word that means the same thing. The broader and narrower terms below are the useful relations in that case.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
used or abandoned materials for use in creating new products
“Every Monday, we put our recycling out on the curb for pick-up”
the act of processing used or abandoned materials for use in creating new products
Synonyms, antonyms and the broader and narrower relations for recycling come from Princeton University’s WordNet. Full sources and licences.
