Where does your recycling go?
Recyclable materials are collected by various dedicated teams and transported to a specialized processing facility. At this facility, the items undergo a thorough cleaning process to remove contaminants and are subsequently prepared for transport to either a milling facility or, in some cases, directly to a manufacturing facility. Notably, in 2023, the City of Red Lodge has successfully diverted a remarkable 282,130 pounds of recyclable materials from the waste stream.
