On Tuesday, May 6th, we took a field trip to Republic's Materials Recovery Facility (Recycling Center). Our students learned how the recycling we put into our bins gets taken to the Recycling Center and is sorted by aluminum, glass, paper, cardboard, and different types of plastics. They got to put on child-sized fluorescent safety vests and safety glasses and tour the plant. It was sooooo neat! We wish all of you could go visit this place.
We found this videos which shows the type of plant we visited. It's a different company, but the process is the same. Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y68tBxVrnXg.
