Although I would definitely call Laura and I avid recyclers, I have for the longest time been very confused about how our recycling gets sorted (or if it even gets sorted). In Azusa, they apparently sort the recyclables from the trash (which I’ve never believed). And I remember in Florida, they had separate bins for newspaper, cans, and bottles. But now we put all of our recyclables in a big blue bin with our neighbors. What’s the deal? Well, I will tell you.
I recently came across a video by RecycleBank that answers all of our questions. The video outlines the process of how our recycling is separated and processed. I suggest you click through and learn about it. It is as complicated as you would imagine.
