Visiting recycling facilities

[leahlane]

Have you ever done it? It can give you a great perspective on waste and recycling. Some facilities will let you observe and some won't. I have been lucky enough to take a tour inside one. Seeing the piles of waste made a very big impact on me. I learned a lot about what can and cannot be recycled in my local area even though I thought I knew the extent of it already. Has anybody else had a similar experience?
