Where do the materials go and how are they used?

Yard clippings are delivered to a compost facility where they are converted to a soil-like material that is used in gardening and landscaping.

Scrap materials are transported to a recycling center for further processing by material type and weight.

The separated materials can be used in place of raw materials in the production process of many types of goods and materials sold to businesses and consumers. Batteries are processed to recover reusable metals.
