Recycling gets a bad rap. Some think it’s a hoax. Some can’t decide what goes in which bin. And yet, Mecklenburg County’s recycling program diverts more than 100,000 tons of materials from landfills each year — and it’s about to get an upgrade.
The new Pence Road Materials Recovery Facility will process the county’s recyclables, while the old facility on Amble Drive is being upgraded with new material separators. These facilities are where recyclables go after being collected from the county’s green curbside bins.
