What system do we use in our plants to process recycling?
SINGLE STREAM, or single stream: all recyclable materials (plastic bottles, paper, newspaper, cardboard, aluminum cans and brass) are placed together in one container directly.
Materials should be DRY and CLEAN so as not to contaminate the rest. Remove labels if possible. Do not use bags.
