The collector carries out the sorting of the materials. It separates them into categories and usually puts them in bundles, which are routed, as appropriate, to a recycler or directly to a user. It can also collect material at source. However, before being used in the manufacture of a product, some materials must undergo pretreatment. The processes of densification of the material (filling of fibers, manufacture of metal briquettes, grinding of glass, etc.) are not considered as recycling activities but rather of recovery.

Use in a manufacturing process of a secondary material in place of raw material. Surface Recycling: this involves treating the surface of the coating to a depth of less than 75 mm using a hot or cold glider. This operation is generally continuous, by single or multiple stages, and may involve the addition of new materials such as aggregates, adjuvants or binders.
This involves scarifying and excavating the materials used in the surfacing and part of the foundations and transporting them to an asphalt plant where they are crushed and generally treated with a binder. The materials to be treated in a plant can also be obtained by spraying the coating and part of the foundations in the field. Once the materials have been treated in a plant, they are transported back to the site to be used, reprofiled and compacted.
Recycling of surface and foundations
This involves spraying the surface and decoating the foundations. Generally, this operation is followed by shaping and recompacting. It may or may not include the addition of a binder.
Reinforced concrete cast in iron sheeting

Development of residual material by means other than reuse and recycling. There are two types of valuation. First, energy recovery, a technology that addresses the fuel fraction of tailings. Secondly, biological recovery, the most popular valorisation process for the organic fraction of residual materials.

Any action to reduce the amount of residues generated as a result of the manufacture, distribution and use of a product.
This area is suitable for temporary and selective reception of residues which cannot be or are not to be presented at traditional collections, or which require special treatment. The materials thus recovered are then destined for re-use, recycling, recovery or safe disposal. Landfill site: Landfill site for waste disposal.
