Where does Our Recycling Go?

Green Drinks

I am sure everyone who collects bottles, cans, and paper for recycling wonders where all that stuff really goes. For decades we have dutifully collected our recycling material and put it out curbside to spare the Earth the vulgarities and poisons of added pollution. And every year we have heard more disheartening tales of  industry lies and our wasted efforts. It has gotten so much harder to feel truly green making a positive impact on the environment. It has been downright depressing. 

WHAT'S THE TRUTH? Come to Pxv Green Team's next Green Drinks social on Monday Dec 16 at 6:30 PM to find out. Jeff Furmanchin, gen mgr of the JP Mascaro Total Recycling Plant in Birdsboro, will explain how the single stream mess from our homes is efficiently sorted, sold, and distributed. They currently receive and process 500-800 tons a day there!!!  Come join your environmental colleagues for a fascinating Q & A at the Foodery 325 Bridge St, Phoenixville. Great beer, wine & chip selection and delicious, fresh and grilled sandwiches.
