Do public places recycle?

Question

most of the things we throw away can be recycled. do places like parks, shopping centers, schools, do they recycle their trash?

Answer 1

some do

Answer 2

Most cities have a transfer station or materials recovery facility (MRF) to try to pull some of the recyclable materials from the waste stream. Check with your local waste managment office to see how it is done in your area.

We have a state of the art, supper expensive, automatic MRF and we only have a diversion rate of around 40%. So the most effective way to ensure items get recycled is to prevent them from going into the waste stream and take them to your local recycling center. www.earth911.org is a great resource.

Answer 7

Actually very few do, even to the point of setting our a separate can for soda cans.

most feel it is not worth the trouble, and it usually take an employee taking the initiative to do it on their own time.

however it has happened in many areas, and the money made by recycling is often put towards a company or office party.

Answer 8

I doubt this because if all the rubbish goes into the same bin and piled off to the fill it won't be recycled.

Answer 9

I know that janitors at my old high school did.  They would just collect all the empty cans and bottles picked up and out of the trash, and they would recycle it.  Some schools are taking initiative, creating clubs that then create recycling boxes and put them into classrooms.

I know 24 hour fitness also has recycling trashcans throughout their gym.  Its free money.

The biggest issue i feel is bottles and paper.  Bottled water is overrated.  Health regulation are way higher on water that comes from a drinking fountain, than that of your million dollar companies that create bottled water.  (pesi and coca cola)  People should just buy reuseable water bottles.  

Paper gets thrown away way too much, when it should be recycled, even if you dont get money for it.  It would help relieve deforestation.
