Waste Management Single-Stream Recycling: Take a tour of our Philadelphia MRF

http://www.wm.com/ Recycling with single-stream technology is helping communities recycle more waste from their garbage collection. Waste Management is on a mission to drive environmental performance with solutions that minimize waste, recycle valuable resources, and create renewable energy. We are investing in single-stream technology and building recycling facilities, like the Philadelphia Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), to help extract the highest possible value from the materials we manage.

When I was 11, I wrote WM a letter of appreciation for all it does. I got to go on a cool tour of the MRF in San Ramon, and I was surrounded by a ton of nice garbagemen who showed me the tour of my life! It was amazing to think about how you don't think about it when you put your recyclables on the curb, and then you realize this huge organization is behind the scenes, devoting tons of time and energy to recovering it all! THANK YOU WASTE MANAGEMENT!!!

at 1:37 the woman throws away a plastic bottle with its cap on. I know many waste companies (including my own) say not do it because the caps are a #5 plastic unlike the rest of the bottle. what is wm's policy?

[wastemanagement]

It depends on the facility. You can also get additional information by visiting the Earth 911 blog.

have a go at how fast the workers have to sort the material, you won't see office workers work this fast and the sorters are paid poorly, single stream equals cheap labor to make up for lazy people who won't do the right thing to help the planet survive

Africa for the Africans, Asia for the Asians but White countries for EVERYBODY?

Anti-Whites say there should be no White Countries

Anti-Whites say there should be no White Towns

Anti-Whites say there should be no White Neighbourhoods

Anti-Whites say there should be no White Schools

Anti-Whites say there should be no White Sports

Anti-Whites say there should be no White People, no White Anything

Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-White.
