METHOD OF WASTE RECYCLING

摘要

A method of recycling employs a plurality of bags (1-3) for containing and transporting recyclables that can survive the compaction process without breaking and mixing their contents. The inventive method comprises the steps of: compacting (6) recyclables that have been segregated into bags; transporting the bags to a transfer station (7); and separating the bags into groups (8-10) of material containing like classifications. Thereafter, the classified recyclable material is either recycled into reusable material or transported to storage or to a recycling plant where the material is recycled into reusable material. The method may include the preliminary step of separating the recyclables into a plurality of bags prior to placing the bags into a compactor vehicle (66) or, as an interim step, into a garbage container (44), with or without other non-recyclable waste material (55). The separating may be done by visually perceptible coding on the bags, or by scanning means.
