Understanding Paper Recycling

October 24, 2016

If you have recently implemented a recycling program for your company, you may be interested in learning more about paper recycling in Atlanta. Any paper waste that your company generates can be collected in recycling bins, picked up by your waste management company during your regular trash pickup, and sent to your local recycling center. This paper is then sorted, cleaned, and graded at the recycling center, and is then sent to a paper mill.

Watch this video to learn more about the paper recycling process. After recyclable paper is sent to a paper mill, it is turned into pulp, and any non-recyclable elements, such as staples, are removed. It may then be bleached. Recycled paper may be turned back into cardboard, paper, glass, cans, food and drink cartons, plastic bottles, or clear sacks.
