recycled materials (aluminum, plastic, paper, cardboard, glass, cartons, and Styrofoam) are processed to be sold as commodities. The group will have the opportunity to see finished products made from recycled materials that were incorporated into the design
of the facility including benches, tables, carpet, counter tops and window blinds. At the end of the tour, Republic Services hopes you will leave with a better understanding of how important recycling is and what it takes to be a recycler for life.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
