*About this event*

Recycling can be confusing for residential customers. There are rules about
what can go in your bin and what can't, and that information changes from
time to time. So, the wrong things end up in recycle bins, sometimes
accidently, and sometimes deliberately.



Understanding why some items don't belong in your recycle bin becomes clear
when you get to look at the equipment inside a materials recovery facility
(MRF, pronounced "murf") and how that equipment sorts recyclables. If you
live in an area that has single-stream (everything goes in the same bin)
recycling then your recyclables go to a MRF.



Come and learn how Republic Services and Batliner Recycling do frequent
audits to help determine the type of contamination that is making its way
to recycle bins so they can do targeted education and outreach to address
that contamination.


You will get to see first hand some of those contamination items and the
insides of the Batliner facility and how the sorting process happens.
