Notes:

From a R-H Wave, callers often call Recycle Twice. This is a smooth combination, and you start and end with the same dancer. EN: 60
Recycle [from Facing Couples] is very similar to Veer Left followed by Ends Run. EN: 70

Why are there are two different calls named Recycle? EN: 80

The original idea for Recycle was the (now C1) call All 8 Recycle, which starts and ends in a 1/4 Tag. The Centers do the Mainstream-version of Recycle, but work wide to end as a Couple on the outside, as the Outsides move into the middle and do the A2-version of Recycle to end in the Center Wave. EN: 90

Later, it was "discovered" that there are really two calls within the call All 8 Recycle, and that these two calls could be done separately. Hence there are two versions of Recycle. EN: 100

Box Recycle [C1]:

From Facing Couples, a Mini-Wave Box, or a Box consisting of one R-H Mini-Wave and one In-Facing Couple. Those who are a Couple do your part of a (Facing) Recycle as those in a Mini-Wave do a Leaders Trail Off as Trailers 1/2 Box Circulate and U-Turn Back by turning toward the Center of the 4-dancer formation. Ends in a Wave. EN: 176

From applicable formations. Each 2 x 2 do a Box Recycle. EN: 438

All 8 Recycle [C1] (Lee Kopman 1974):

From a 1/4 Tag (or Squared Set or Thar). Wave dancers Recycle, taking a wider arc than normal, to end as Couples on the outside as the Outside dancers move into the Center & do a Box Recycle with one another to end in the Center Wave. A 1/4 Tag setup ends in a 1/4 Tag. EN: 439
