Does recycling
actually work?

Follow one cereal box from your curb to a brand-new product - and see exactly where it goes.

Kick it to the curb.

What happens once you've finished off that box of cereal and placed it in your recycling bin? Follow along on it's curbside recycling journey!

​

Have an item that isn't recyclable curbside?

Visit our Recycling and Disposal Locator Tool to find a local drop-off.

Sort it all out.

After the truck drivers pick up your curbside recycling, the journey then continues to the Material Recovery Facility.

 

Here, items will go through a series of highly specialized machines that sort items to prepare them for their end market.  

Make it brand new.

In our last stop on the recycling journey, we make our way to Greif Manufacturing - one of the 95% of end market outlets that fall within a 250 mile radius of Rumpke.

 

Here, your recycling will go from a cereal box to a brand new paperboard product.
