Description
The recycling center at the intersection of Rockville Pike and Shady Grove Road is conducting public tours again. This 57,000 square foot facility plays an important role in the recycling system, making recycling easier for our residents!
You don't have to sort your glass, cans and plastic bottles because the recycling center does it for you. At the recycling center, glass, cans and plastic bottles are inspected, sorted, baled and trucked to mills and plants where the recycled material is made into something new. Once recyclable materials are made into new products, then you can close the recycling loop by buying products made with recycled materials. Come learn more!
