How do recycling factories deal with the problem of people putting things in the wrong bins?
In: Other
I live in Vegas and got a tour of our recycling facility. It’s fairly new and has high speed conveyors with lots of automatic sorters. Then people work on those lines and remove stuff that isn’t recyclable. It was super cool seeing the machines swiftly picking out glass bottles, then certain plastics, then aluminum.
Guide said their main problem is with items being placed inside other items. So if a cardboard box had a aluminum can inside, both items would likely be identified as trash and discarded.
