Answers to Frequently Asked Questions: 1. Paper towels cannot be added to the recycling stream. 2. Construction paper can be added to the recycling stream. 3. Plastic liners may be used in the recycling containers, but they cannot be added to the recycling stream. When they become dirty, they must be placed in the trash. In a perfect world, a liner would not be necessary if all liquids are properly drained from bottles and cans. 4. Plastic caps can be collected and recycled with Aveda's Cap Collection Program.

Where are the materials recycled? Once the materials are gathered at each school, the recycling dumpsters are picked up by Allied Waste. Allied Waste then brings these materials to TFC Recycling in Chester, Virginia. TFC operates a materials recovery facility that separates the materials and bales the materials to be sold.  |
