This morning I was watching a program on Arlington (channel 25 Comcast) and there was a segment on recycling here in Arlington. If you live in Arlington you no longer have to seperate all of your recyclables, and we are recycling more materials then ever.
On the program they showed how it's done. 95% of the separation is one by machine. They use blowers and magnets and other methods to seperate the materials. The other 5% is done by hand. Recycled material goes to China and all over the US. It's used for clothing, furniture, and new glass and plastic containers. Awesome.
If you want more information on what can be recycled you can visit http://www.arlingtonva.us and use the search term recycle.
