When I put my bin of glass, paper, and plastic together and the truck picks it up every week..what happens after that?
Does it get dumped out in a big pile and have to be sorted through? Is it really someone's job to hand sort through all that garbage? Or is there some kind of machine that can separate glass from paper and plastic? What happens to the stuff after that? Do private companies buy the old material from Waste Management? |

I don't understand why so many people don't care about recycling. Resources are finite and all of us should care about reusing what we can when we can.
