Source Separation

Indonesia is returning 547 containers of materials contaminated with used plastic and hazardous waste back to Western nations.

The Recycling Partnership’s DIYSigns tool is designed to help educate consumers on what can and cannot be recycled.

The grant will be used to install waste bins at the university to help students separate recyclables from food scraps and other items.

The founder and executive director of Recycle Across America is working to improve recycling and combat confusion at the bin.

Four robotic sorting machines at the facility identify different plastics, remove them from conveyor belts of mixed materials and deposit them for further sorting.

Rumpke conducted an audit of recycling materials from 15 samples in the cities of Fairfield and Centerville, helping both cities reduce contamination rates.

DIYSigns is a free online resource that aims to help educate people on what to place in their recycling bins.

Although many cities are taking action to combat their recycling issues, few have considered utilizing technology to promote recycling.

The city’s recycling program will no longer include mixed paper and plastic and instead collect only aluminum, cardboard and tin.

The new facility will mark the end of Mid America Recycling's more than 25-year tenure as the area's recycling processor.
