HOW DO RECYCLING MACHINES WORK?

Interesting FACTS

• Almost 1 mile of conveyor belt on the machine.
• The recycle machine carries almost 300 tons of trash a day.
• The recycling machines carries paper, metal, and plastic.

HOW IT WORKS

• First high powered fans to blast up lighter metal, plastic, and paper leaving the heavier glass to go to a separate pile.
• Next, a steep conveyor belt bounces the trash on a set of rubber causing lighter paper to go up and the heavier metal to fall into another pile.

HOW IT WORKS 2

• Powerful magnets take away anything made of metal leftover leaving plastic and other materials.That is that part of that machine.
• Then a team sorts it all into bins. once that is done it's put in another machine called a baler which turn them into huge cubes of trash then it's loaded to trucks.
• Once they are made into cubes and in trucks they are sold to somewhere to be renewed.

EXTRAS

• Paper cubes can cost up to $200!
• Another aluminum cube can cost up to $600 , three times as much as paper cubes!
