Good Recycling Starts with Good Sorting


Once again I head out to see the current "haul of the day" One of the great things about specialized hauling is you dont know what you are going to get. Usually you know it will be one thing:

Something very large

Other than that its a crap shoot. After a few questions I learn this is a giant sorting bin. A huge part of recycling is sorting different materials into their proper groups. This makes sorting bins, like the one above, vital. On top of that we are not just hauling this, we are fixing it. Even though it is not a vehicle it is mechanically serviceable by a truck mechanic.

International Recycle Symbol                          Todays Specialized Hauling project: RecyclingRegardless of how mundane this looks, this is really an important piece of specialized equipment. We cant save the Earth if we dont recycle and we can't recycle if we have no way to sort different materials AND we cant do that without sorting bins like the one above.

So the next time you see a long flatbed go by, carrying something unkown, it could be the "future" staring back at you in the form of a dirty old trash bin....or something like that.
