Ready for an inside scoop on how TerraCycle recycles hard-to-recycle trash? When our TerraCyclers recycle with TerraCycle, their trash will always end up at one of our TerraCycle material recovery facilities (MRFs). Then, the magic happens… Once the trash is checked in, it’s sorted and cleaned before it is recycled into raw materials. Those raw materials are then used to make new items like benches, watering cans, shipping pallets, and more—giving hard-to-recycle trash a whole new life!

Stringed Lights SHOULD NOT Be Disposed of In Your Recycling Bin! Do you have an abundance of holiday lights that are burned out and unusable? If so, you can SIMPLY PUT THEM IN YOUR REGULAR TRASH. Stringed lights in a recycling bin will cause a problem at the recycling facility and are potentially hazardous to those working in the facility as they become wrapped around equipment and need to be manually cut off. Unusable lights and any other garbage placed in your regular trash will be used as fuel to create electricity when it is brought to the York County Resource Recover Center by your hauler. All of York County’s municipal curbside trash is combusted and turned into alternative power. Your old holiday lights used to create electricity, who knew? Waste-to-Energy: working for York County.

That’s like picking up the weight of 100 elephants! ♻️ Recycling Heroes: Garbage collectors play a crucial role in the recycling process, helping to divert tons of material from landfills each year. 🕒 Early Birds: Many garbage collectors start their day as early as 4 AM, ensuring our waste is collected and managed before most of us are even awake. 🌍 Environmental Impact: Efficient waste management helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, making garbage collectors key players in the fight against climate change. 💪 Heavy Lifting: A typical garbage collector can lift and move around 6,000 pounds of waste each day – talk about strength and stamina! On this special day, let's show our appreciation for their essential work. Next time you see a garbage collector, give them a wave or a smile – they truly deserve it! 😊 #GarbageManDay #ThankYouGarbageCollectors #LibertyDisposal #CommunityHeroes #EnvironmentalStewards #CleanCommunities
