♻️ Behind every bale of recycled plastic is a lot of hands-on work!

Today’s collection from the City of Brewton Community Recycling Bin is being carefully sorted by PCI Recycling Technicians Chevy Bingham and Ethan Bowen. They inspect the material to ensure that only approved #1 PET plastic is included in each bale.

This important step helps prevent contamination, which can cause an entire bale to be rejected and sent to the landfill instead of being recycled.

A friendly reminder to everyone who participates in our recycling program: Please make sure your #1 PET plastic containers are completely empty, lightly rinsed, and free of food, liquids, trash, bags, or other materials before placing them in the recycling bin. When in doubt, check the recycling number and include only approved #1 PET plastic.

Thank you, Chevy and Ethan, for your hard work and attention to detail. We also appreciate the City of Brewton and its residents for supporting community recycling and helping give these materials another life! ♻️
