ABSTRACT:
A method of recycling employs a plurality of bags for containing and transporting recyclable that can survive the compaction process without breaking and mixing their contents. The inventive method includes the steps of: compacting recyclable that have been segregated into bags; transporting the bags to a transfer station; and separating the bags into groups of material containing like classifications. Thereafter, the classified recyclable material is either recycled into reusable material or transported to storage or to a recycling plant where the material is recycled into reusable material. The method may also include the preliminary step of separating the recyclable into a plurality of bags prior to placing the bags into a compactor vehicle or, as an interim step, into a garbage container, with or without other non-recyclable waste material. The separating may be done by visually perceptible coding on the bags, or by scanning coding on or in the bags by using a scanning device. Alternatively, a single bag containing recyclable may be used rather than multiple bags containing different classifications of recyclable.
