Your recycling is delivered to our Material Recovery Facility by the trucks. It is placed on a conveyer and our pickers take out all the non-recyclable items. How your recycling gets sorted..\My Documents\My Pictures\videos\3.mpg

A large trommel with holes in it lets all the bottles fall through to be collected. Then a bounce conveyer takes all the light items like paper to the top while allowing heavy items like glass to drop to the bottom. How your recycling gets sorted..\My Documents\My Pictures\videos\4.mpg..\My Documents\My Pictures\videos\6.mpg

Next a magnet collects the cans and takes them away to a separate baler. And an eddy current collects the aluminium cans. A blast of air pushes the light plastic items away to a separate conveyor where a laser sorts them by their plastic type ready to be baled. How your recycling gets sorted..\My Documents\My Pictures\videos\plasticsortnew_01.mpg..\My Documents\My Pictures\videos\EddyCurrent.wmv

The glass that is left is collected in a large container to be taken to our Automated Glass Sorting Facility. It is then further sorted according to colour. How your recycling gets sorted
