What happens to my recycling?

Once the recyclables are sorted by material, they are baled into compact cubes. Recycled paper is often used in toilet paper, egg cartons, and paper towel rolls. The bales of metals are sent to smelting facilities where they are further processed before being manufactured into new products.Recycled metal can be used to make a variety of products like aluminum or tin cans, file cabinets, or tin foil. Recycled glass is sent to glass processing facilities, then it can be recycled an infinite number of times, so recycled glass is often manufactured right back into what it was: bottles and jars. Plastic bales are sold to plastic recycling facilities where they are most often down-cycled into things like lawn furniture, garbage cans, carpets, and park benches etc.
