Recycling-friendly gardening shears

Recycling-friendly gardening shears, comprising a metallic unit and a nonmetallic unit, the metallic unit having metallic components, with an engagement space defined on at least one of the metallic components, the nonmetallic unit having engaging portions, the metallic components being smoothly coupled to the nonmetallic unit as soon as the engagement spaces engage with the engaging portions, wherein, when the gardening shears are no longer usable and thus are suitable for recycling, a user only needs to exert a simple pull to separate the engaging portions quickly from the engagement spaces and thus conveniently detach the nonmetallic unit from the metallic components, the metallic components comprising a gardening shear body, a resilient element, a block, a spring and a positioning pin, and the nonmetallic unit further having two pads, a buffer and a knob which are mounted on the gardening shear body,

• wherein the gardening shear body has two handles pivotally connected to each other, with a blade connected to each of the two handles, with the two blades opened and closed under a force applied to the two handles to perform a cutting process, with the engagement spaces defined at multiple points on the two handles respectively, with the resilient element mounted in place between the two handles, with a limitative notch disposed on one of the blades, wherein one of the handles has a slot in which the block, the spring and the positioning pin are mounted in place, wherein, when the two blades are closed, the knob coupled to the gardening shear body drives the block protruding out of the slot and then further entering the limitative notch to cause the blades to stay in a closed state, wherein the positioning pin is pushed by the spring to preclude displacement of the block, and thus the block is fixed in place at a protruded position or a retracted position,
• wherein the engaging portions are disposed on the pads, the buffer and the knob respectively, wherein, owing to resilience of the nonmetallic unit, the engaging portions compressed get fitted inside the engagement spaces respectively, allowing the pads, the buffer and the knob to be fully coupled to the gardening shear body.
