What is done with the stuff thats not recycled?
Materials not recycled are classified into two categories. Rejects materials that should not be in recycling stream (garbage, plastic bags) Residue materials not processed due to inefficiencies of the system. These materials go through the processing system and end up in a large compactor and then need to be hauled to the landfill. High percentages of reject/residue material cause the system to be ineffective as well as inefficient.
