THE LIFE CYCLE OF A PLASTIC BOTTLE 

Do you know where the plastic water bottle in your hand came from? What about after you toss it into your recycling bin?

When your bottle is recycled, it is shipped to a recycling plant to be used for something else. 

At the recycling plant, the bottles are sorted and cleaned, and then they are shredded or turned into chips. The shreds or chips are sent to a plastics processing plant which will turn them into plastic pellets. Our plastic bottles are not being shipped overseas.

The plastic pellets are then used to create more bottles, carpet, toys, electronics, etc.

RECYCLE COACH
 
Do you know what day recycling is picked up? How about the proper way to dispose of an old air conditioner unit? All that information and much more is now available at your fingertips via the RECYCLE COACH app.
 
 
It's simple and easy to use.
To see your zone, just click on "View Schedule" and type in your address.
 
 
 
 
 
 
This free app provides residents in The Borough of Sayreville with sanitation and recycling information specific to their zone. The app along with our website features a monthly calendar of sanitation and recycling pick-up days, a search function that provides information on the proper way to dispose of specific items and tips on ways to reduce waste. Users can also set reminders to inform them of sanitation and recycling pick-up days, as well as directly report problems to the Public Works Department.
 
 Thanks to the Department of Environmental Protection who purchased RECYCLE COACH'S online technology and to Middlesex County, so residents can now access information through their smart devices.

The RECYCLE COACH application download is available on the Google Play and Apple Store for free.
