What happens to the recyclable items after Waste Pro picks them up?
Recyclable materials are currently being sent to two locations – GEL Corp at the Volusia County Landfill and Waste Pro’s MRF (Materials Recovery Facility) in Putnam County. Waste Pro collects recyclables in a two-sort process. One department is responsible for newspapers and cardboard and the other department is responsible for plastics, glass, and both aluminum and tin cans. After being separated, all recycled materials are sent to the best available markets for re-use.
