- Q. What happens to the material that is sorted and is not recyclable.
- A. Material that is not recyclable that is sorted at the facility goes to the County Landfill.
- Q. Financial - What are the costs per pound of recycling vs. trash?
- A. Cost differs per material, but on average, the costs are about $40/ton for recycling and $49/ton for trash. Due to the processes involved in operating sanitary landfills, landfilling is normally a more expensive process than recycling.
- Q. Education for children - Do you have coloring books or other kinds of outreach to schools that can be used?
- A. We have general recycling and Department of Environmental Resources material that is geared to children however the bulk of our promotional material will be available in the fall. We are designing a rotating library exhibit for children

Why isn't the Oglethorpe Condominium included in the yellow bin recycling program? We throw away TONS of recyclables due to lack of storage and the high cost of pick up. We pay taxes yet are not included in this valuable program. WHY?
