WHERE RECYCLING ENDS UP

A myth we are ALWAYS trying to bust is: “Don’t worry about recycling, it all ends up in the landfill anyways”!

WRONG!

Here at Northern Recycling we work really hard to ensure recyclable material gets recycled.
What would the point be to send out separate trucks (and additional drivers), have access to millions of dollars’ worth of sorting equipment, and over twenty people HAND sorting recycling, if not to get those products recycled into something new? A waste of money, resources, and lots of greenwashing.

If you’ve ever been faced with someone saying to you that recycling ends up in the landfill, send them to this page!

All of our materials are sorted by our sister company at the Napa Recycling & Composting Facility. They are working on updating the virtual tour it and the Materials Recovery Facility (the recycling part of it), but in the meantime we have an old tour of the recycling facility here: Napa Recycles!
