Let me work through this problem step by step.
The task asks to circle all waste items that do NOT belong to each group (Recycle, Re-use, Compost).
RECYCLE Group:
Items shown: glass bottle, cardboard box, fish bones, aluminum can
- Glass bottle ✓ - Can be recycled
- Cardboard box ✓ - Can be recycled
- Fish bones ✗ - Cannot be recycled (organic waste)
- Aluminum can ✓ - Can be recycled
Fish bones do not belong in the recycle group.
RE-USE Group:
Items shown: plastic jug, apple core, plastic bottle, paper bag
- Plastic jug ✓ - Can be re-used
- Apple core ✗ - Cannot be re-used (it's compostable organic waste)
- Plastic bottle ✓ - Can be re-used
- Paper bag ✓ - Can be re-used
Apple core does not belong in the re-use group.
COMPOST Group:
Items shown: tin can, banana peel, mushroom/apple core, fish bones
- Tin can ✗ - Cannot be composted (metal doesn't break down)
- Banana peel ✓ - Can be composted
- Mushroom/apple core ✓ - Can be composted
- Fish bones ✓ - Can be composted
Tin can does not belong in the compost group.
Final Answer:
- In the RECYCLE section: Circle the fish bones
- In the RE-USE section: Circle the apple core
- In the COMPOST section: Circle the tin can
