Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use *recycle* when they mean the noun *recycling*, for example saying "I put it in the recycle" instead of "I put it in the recycling" or "the recycling bin." Another confusion is using *recycle* for general reuse: for simple personal reuse (e.g. using a jar to hold pens), *reuse* or *use again* can be clearer, while *recycle* usually means sending something to a place where it is processed into new material.
