5. 5

   [2026] [6~7] 다음 글을 읽고 물음에 답하시오. Recycling programs vary significantly from one region to another. What can be recycled in one city may not be accepted in another. For example, while City A accepts plastic bags in its curbside recycling program, City B requires residents to drop them off at designated collection points. Similarly, the types of plastics, glass, and paper products accepted can differ even between neighboring communities. This inconsistency often confuses residents who may assume that recycling rules are universal. The reality is that recycling capabilities depend on local processing facilities, market demand for materials, and municipal budget allocations. Residents must therefore stay informed about their specific local guidelines rather than relying on general assumptions about what is recyclable. (A)에 들어갈 윗글의 제목으로 가장 적절한 것은?
