First, you need to know the difference between recyclable and recycled. A recyclable product is one that can be separated, collected, and recovered for recycling. A recycled product is one that is made from material that has been recycled. Remember, just because something may be recyclable, it does not mean it was made from recycled material.
Recycling is a three step process.
The first step is the separation of recyclables. This is what Middlesex County residents have done so well over the past ten years. The second step is the collection and processing of the recyclables. The third step is to have manufacturers use the recycled material to manufacture new products. This step is where we need your help.
