Last week, we took a quick trip down the road to the recycling center to see what happens when we throw our recycling away. One of the service projects we're doing to help our school is to be responsible for recycling. It was neat to see where all our efforts are going.
The trucks were out moving around the materials that go to another facility.
There were piles of recycled TVs and workers were separating cardboard in the background.
This was a giant pile of cardboard that would be re-purposed nearby.
We got to see the bailer and piles of cardboard bails.
We learned a lot about how to recycling.
1. Break down cardboard.
2. Don't break or smash electronics.
3. Put sawdust or kitty litter in paint to dry it out.
4. Put batteries in individual baggies so they don't start fires.
5. Don't tape fluorescent lights together or break them.
6. Don't put recycling in plastic bags.
