Watch This Video Giving the Recycling Facts About Kerbside Recycling

One of the seldom considered recycling facts is that the waste you as a householder recycle in boxes and wheelie bins is not only a single type of recyclable material.  It’s a mix of a controlled number of materials.  It is what is known as “segregated”, that’s it is still a mixed waste, and each collection authority sets different rules as to what is allowed’mixed’ in each recycling container provided. 

That means the materials you recycle in fact have 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 provided with for recycling glass and tins, which might also be mixed with plastic bottles and other re-usable plastic boxes, is further sorted. 

If you think about this recycling fact you’ll realize that each container you put out for your bin men to collect will need 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 superb way in which these co-mingled recyclates are sorted at the kerbside by the binmen ( waste collection agents ) and then really deftly, safely, and efficiently loaded into the collection vehicle without them getting mixed up again. 

Watch the video to see the way in which the collection hoppers on the side of the collection car are raised to fill the collection car.  It is another of the obscure recycling facts that by doing the sorting of householder recyclates this way at the kerbside the collection authority may be ready to avoid the capital and running value of a MRF ( Materials Recivery Facility ). 

So, there it is, one of the seldom considered recycling facts is that the waste you recycle in boxes and wheelies is what is called’co-mingled’, that’s it’s still mixed and each collection authority sets different rules as to what is permitted to be co-mingled in each recycling container provided.  It might simply be too complicated and uneconomic to expect each househoulder to hold a new container for every recyclcable material.

That implies the materials you recycle in fact need to be further sorted after collection, by the collection authority or waste company.  As an example one of the recycling facts you should consider is the way in which the box you provide for glass and tins, which might also be mixed with plastic bottles and other re-usable 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?

Watch the video to see how the collection hoppers on the side of the collection auto are raised to fill the collection vehicle.
It’s also another of the little known recycling facts that by doing the sorting of householder recyclates this way at the kerbside the collection authority could also be able to avoid the capital and running price of a
MRF (Materials Recycling Facility).  Take a look at that site by clicking the link – it is totally full of recycling facts about the waste technology wanted to recycle the raw materials in the waste that we all produce.  The rationale for doing it is to reduce man’s effect on our planet for the good of future generations, our youngsters, and grandkids.
