 This is one of the largest plastic recycling plants in the United States. It is in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Jay Chilton is head of the plant. On an average week we receive anywhere from one to one and a half million pounds of bottles into the plant. We receive eight to ten trucks a day coming into the plant and a truckloads roughly 40,000 pounds. That is more than 18 thousand kilograms of plastic every day. These bales on average are about 900 pounds. They can range anywhere from 600 pounds to 1500 pounds in this configuration. This is accumulation of roughly 10 to 15 weeks of deliveries. Nearly three football fields of plastic sit just a short ride from the processing center. Your front-end load washing machine at your house is just a lot longer and a lot bigger. Then the plastic is broken into what the recycling industry calls flakes. Kind of like your flower sifter at home where you're sifting out the big chunks of flour. Large storage areas hold the flakes before they are sent to another center which will make them into something new. We will show you that next step in our final report on recycling. I'm Mario Ritter.
