Research For Recycling Center
We are doing research for a recycling center. When we looked online we found the most common things that are recycled. Those things are: Grocery sacks, produce bags, and other packaging, water bottles, Pop Cans, Waxed cartons (Milk, juice) Phone books, White Office Paper and Corrugated Cardboard. We have contacted the principal at ERMS and he has agreed to let us set up recycling bins at the middle school to get more people aware of recycling. They will have a competition to see which tag recycles the most. The recycling center in Eaton Rapids only accepts the following things: Newspapers, Plastic, water bottles, Milk Jugs, Detergent containers, tin cans, aluminum, and clear glass jars. The plastics can only be number 1 or number 2. The number 1 is PETE (Polyethylene Terephthalate) and the Number 2 is HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) And it is molded into the plastic item. We discovered that the recycling center picks up all the extra brush after big storms and they will pick up your Christmas tree only if you are a city resident. We may not actually be able to create a recycle center but we will make people aware of the fact that we have one right here in ER.
