recycler

/ɹiˈsaɪkɫɝ/ noun

A person who recycles, or a machine used to recycle.

Word Origin From Greek kyklos 'circle, wheel' and Latin re- 'again' — literally 'to circle again.' A recycler is someone who puts materials back into the cycle. The root kyklos gives us 'bicycle' (two wheels), 'tricycle,' 'cyclone' (spinning storm), and 'encyclopedia' (circle of learning). The PIE root *kwel- meant 'to turn, revolve,' so recycling is turning things around again.

noun A person who recycles, or a machine used to recycle. countable
