- Ever wondered where your plastic bottles, metal cans, and other recyclables go when they leave your blue bin? If you live in Vermont, chances are good that they're headed for the CSWD Materials Recovery Facility (MRF - rhymes with "smurf"!) in Williston. This is where all of those materials get sorted, baled, and shipped off to market. In this video, we take you backstage to see what really goes on in this amazing facility.
Watch as your blue bin resources travel along conveyors, past spinning discs, over mechanical paddle arms, and through the fast-moving hands of hard-working people on their magical journey through the MRF.

This is the 3rd video I’ve watched to understand how sorting works, and this explained things the clearest, thank you!
Same
same
And this ladies and gentlemen, is the real defenition of a true hero
Very informative. And whatever you're paying those people who do the sorting, please double it.
You need to show this video to each university and community so that people can understand the difficulties the workers go through to do this job done successfully. By this way people will be more aware and will take time in selecting trash cans-organic-recycle etc etc when it comes to dump a thing.
glad to see there are some recyclers....
Well done reccycling keeps the world most favourably place to be
Wow I never knew this stuff, this was so cool.
This was so helpful to my students to understand how the recycling plant works.

My county in NC developed a program geared to children here in TH-cam. You have great information here too!
I’ve always been curious how this was all done. Thanks for such a great video and all the hard work you do at the MRF!
Well done
One of the most interesting things I've watched in a while :)
Lol love how the clip they showed on the 'tip floor' was a full eject truck, not a tip truck.
Good job and thank you. Is it not feasible for workers sorting to be outfitted with some type of masks? Thanks again, well done.
Awesome work 👏💪🙌
How long do those human sorters stay on that line?
There are always human sorters on the line while the MRF is operating (M-F 6-3:30). We process 1.5 blue bins per second, so it requires a lot of eyes and hands to keep contamination out and materials flowing into the right place!
@@CSWDVT how long are the sorters /pickers stood on line...thats the question
I'm so happy about recycling 😊😊
You guys are doing great job. Thanks for doing this. Where is this place at? I'd like to take a tour and visit this place. Awesome.
Very informative! Thank you!
Renee Wilson dear i am really interested for doing this but i live in a some country bangladesh here r lot's of abstrac for doing this if u really help me for doing that will be really help me for making my dream come true please if u really knowing some of this please help me to sharing that information with me for that i really obey with u thanks

What happens to the stuff that can't be sorted/recycled/is too contaminated? MRFs seem inefficient to me - get people to keep the materials separate in different bins rather than mixing them together!
Contamination is sorted out and sent to the landfill. In the 1990's, most municipalities moved from source-separated recycling (where residents sort at home) to "all-in-one" or "single-stream," which requires a MRF to sort. Because single-stream recycling is more convenient for most people, recycling rates increased. Of course, as people recycled more material, the percentage of contamination grew as well. Public outreach and education are vital to ensuring that people recycle as much of the RIGHT things as possible.
@@CSWDVT Now that recycling is more commonplace, and public outreach/education is required to reduce contamination rates and wish-cycling, wouldn't it be better to educate people on sorted recycling instead of single-stream systems?
Millions of tons of toilet paper is flushed away every day.
We should collect it for recycling.
It could be used to make many items such as paper plates, drinking cups and straws.
They could be dyed brown to hide any leftover impurities.Replace
It was fantastic
WOW
Wondering what the carbon footprint of the machine sorting is? How much of what goes in has to be discarded as waste into the landfill?
This video encourages me to recycle less... I try my best to avoid single use items and packaging altogether.
Alexandra Phillips I can’t tell if it was sarcastic, but I’ll respond anyways. Basically, in North America everything is mixed into the recycling bin (i.e. paper, glass, metal, plastic) including soiled recyclable items and non recyclable items. The process is long and complex and demands a lot of energy. Not everything gets recycled and often new resources need to be added to produce another product. I think it’s okay to recycle but we recycle so much. Our recycling system is not the best compared to other countries and recycling shouldn’t be the primary solution to all of our waste.
I can drive a recycle truck. I am 7 years. I am Francesco. I love♻
captain planet is proud of you
Good watch.
Great job keep up the good work, only thing I would recommend is you shouldn't be standing on or next to a bale of #1 pete bottles incase of a wire blow out. Plastic bales want to expand and are under a lot of pressure as it exits the bale chamber and the wire's gets strapped. I manage a recycling facility in Palmer Alaska and I do not let anyone including staff stand on or near a bale incase of a wire blow out wich I have seen happen before and thankfully no one got hurt.
James the bale safety bear.
If I wanted to start such business then what shall I do for the initial stage?
I always wondered how the recycling process works but what about other recyclable materials like the metal from cars or the denim from pants
Who ever says these MRFs aren't reliable is lying. The reason why the MRF has been developed is to make it easy for us the consumer to recycle. When we had to separate our recyclables, some of it would either be damp by the time we dump them off at the recycling center, the stuff was hard to process. With the MRF, we put all recyclables into one cart with a lid which keeps the rain out. And once the stuff is separated by both humans and machines, then the stuff is baled and sent to corporations to make into new products. MRFs are great and I am glad that there are TV stations and special movie making companies tour these places that film these places since there are dangerous places for a tourist to be. Like the disk screens. Those disks spin at a pretty high rate of speed.
Is it already profitable?
wow
Thank u
So, the Sorting companies (who sort different waste such as plastic, aluminum, paper and others) are not recycling (converting into the final product) after differentiating the 5 major waste products to be recycled? They might be supplying the sorted products to different companies depending upon 5 waste product type? Is that correct?
For us, we sort the materials we receive from our communities and then they are bailed and sent to market. Manufacturers or those companies that work with those manufacturers buy the materials to make whatever products they need. Does that help?
@@CSWDVT Yes, that helps. Another question is
Is the materials from our cities/communities being taken by Municipality (Govt.) or is there any private player who is doing so? Does the company who sort materials are not taking it from our communities for their sorting plants?

Yeah
Where does the money go from the materials that are sold?
It goes back into running the recycling facility.
I love it but my country don't recycle I want to recycle and I want to cooperate with you
Good footage. I keep trying but it's difficult here in Cleveland area; people really don't care:( Might move back to Michigan where ( most) beverage containers are 10c/ea, woo hoo! Yet here they do p/u mattresses, furniture etc for no additional charge while city of Lansing charged $33 ! for 1st Bulk Item sticker; 2nd is 1/2 price-$16.50, meh.
As always there's just Too Much Stuff:/
Thanioid?
How come the workers don't wear masks or other protective clothing? Has OSHA
been to visit
Thanx for all you do but like someone said, there has to be a better way to sort this before it gets to u all. We should all cooperate not to let it get this far in this manner. Responsible consumers & vendors might b the answer.
Yeet
So much technology so many brains and we still need humans to sort all of these materials? I don't accept it!
Feel free to change that.
More jobs at least.
if you don't like it. Change it.
Artificial intelligence is fast approaching. Eventually it will do it much faster and more accurately.
Careful what you wish for.
An increasing number of MRFs use optical sorting to detect materials and sort them correctly. They work with compressed air, robotic arms, or other automated technology to move items into the right place.
Humko kam karna Mujhe vah kam karna aata hai plastic ka kam karna hai
this is cool to see how its done, but seems like such a waste of time in the long run
First of all you don't mix cardboard and paper with commingle
A great source. We are hoping to implement something like this here in the Dominican Republic, but are still sorting things out (haha)!
