From a Wave.

Ends Cross Fold (to face furthest centers) as Centers Fold behind Ends, follow them partway, then adjust to form a Couple.

Ends in Facing Couples.

before Recycle   part-way (after Centers Fold)   part-way (after sliding together & turning 1/4)   after forming Facing Couples (done)

• The end result of Recycle is as if the Ends did a Cross Fold as the Centers took a small step backward to form a Couple.
• Original centers make a 360 degree turn.
• Dancewise, Recycle is similar to having the Centers U-Turn Back (turning toward the adjacent End), then all Wheel & Deal.
• Technically Recycle is a no-hands movement, but in practice, dancers join hands partway through the call. In our opinion, the sooner the hands are joined, the better the success rate.
• In challenge dancing, Recycle (from a Wave) [C1] has a more precise definition:
  1. Centers Fold behind Ends and all adjust to a Mini-Wave Box;
  2. Box Counter Rotate 1/4;
  3. Roll.
