Watch This Video Giving the Recycling Facts About Kerbside Recycling
One of the seldom considered recycling facts is the waste you as a householder recycle in boxes and wheelie bins is not only a single sort of re-usable material. It is a mixture of a restrict limited number of materials. It’s what is known as “segregated”, that’s it’s still a mixed waste, and each collection authority sets different rules as to what is allowed’mixed’ in each recycling container provided.
That implies that the materials you recycle in fact need to be further sorted after collection, by the collection authority or waste company. For example one of the recycling facts you should consider is how it is that the box or container you are offered with for recycling glass and tins, which might also be mixed with plastic bottles and other re-usable plastic containers, is further sorted.
If you believe about this recycling fact you will realise that each container you put out for your bin men to gather will have to be sorted and separated again before it can be sold on to the factory where the recycled material will be used as a raw material.
In this video we have tried to show you the recycling facts about one very good way in which these co-mingled recyclates are sorted at the kerbside by the binmen ( waste collection agents ) and then very cleverly, safely, and efficiently loaded into the collection car without them getting mixed up again.
Watch the video to see the way in which the collection hoppers on the side of the collection auto are raised to fill the collection auto. It is another of the little known recycling facts that by doing the sorting of householder recyclates this way at the kerbside the collection authority may be in a position to avoid the capital and running cost of a MRF ( Materials Recivery Facility ).
So, there it is, one of the barely considered recycling facts is that the waste you recycle in boxes and wheelies is what’s called’co-mingled’, that is it is still mixed and each collection authority sets different rules as to what is allowed to be co-mingled in each recycling container provided. It might simply be too advanced and uneconomic to expect each househoulder to hold a separate container for each recyclcable material.
That suggests that the materials you recycle in fact need to be further sorted after collection, by the collection authority or waste company. For example one of the recycling facts you need to consider is the way in which the box you provide for glass and tins, which might also be mixed with plastic bottles and other reusable plastic boxes is further sorted and separated before it can be sold on to the factory where the recycled material will be used as a raw material?

It is also another of the unknown recycling facts that by doing the sorting of householder recyclates this way at the kerbside the collection authority may also be ready to avoid the capital and running value of a
MRF (Materials Recovery Facility). Take a look at that site by clicking the link – it is chock-full of recycling facts about the waste technology wanted to recycle the raw materials in the waste that we all produce. The reason for doing it is to reduce man’s impact on our planet for the good of future generations, our children, and grandchildren.
