The Recycling Process

The recycling process involves three main steps:

1

Collection

Floyd County residents bring recyclable items to our our drop-off locations during our scheduled hours.

2

Processing

After collection the items are sent away to be sorted, cleaned, and processed into new materials. These new materials are now sold as raw materials.

3

Manufacturing

Recycled raw material is sold to manufacturers who use it in making many of the products used today in the US and worldwide.
