Chinese men load a truck with recyclable materials in Beijing

Chinese migrant workers load a truck high with recyclable cardboard and wood after it is weighed at a recycling drop-off depot in Beijing on October 17, 2013. Although China is proactive with urban recycling more than most developing countries, it is better known for its booming international recycling industry. China for years has welcomed a vast amount of the world's trash, especially from the West. UPI/Stephen Shaver
