just about every other wednesday night, i pull my giant recycling bin to the curb of my driveway for thursday's pickup.  it was last week when i was pulling this thing, just packed full, did i wonder what happens to this stuff after its dumped into the truck?  and how do they sort the paper from plastic from glass? 

well, clever me sent waste management an email asking about this process.  i received a kind reply today from one of their customer service reps, stating the process and includes the website to view a video. 

the process is still questionable ... the cardboard block could still have plastic bottles stuck in it!

(you tube video is easier to watch)
