Single Sort Recycling

---

In January of 2008 the City switched its recycling program to single sort. Many people wonder how single sort works. People also felt bad not sorting their material thinking that they are making more work for someone else; fortunately this is not the case. Single sort requires very little human interaction in order to separate the recyclable materials from each other.

You can see a slideshow of photos to help you visualize what happens to our recycling when it goes to ecomaine by following this link.
