The City has a contract with a local firm, F.W. Russell & Sons to collect recycling from over 45,000 households, about 100 non-profit organizations and our schools and city buildings. Russell sends out five recycling trucks daily and from April-December, one truck for yard waste collection. The recycling trucks are divided into two different compartments: one for commingles (glass, plastic and metal containers) and one for paper and cardboard.
When the truck is full, Russell brings the material to FCR-Boston, a processing plant 2.5 miles from Cambridge in Charlestown where the material gets weighed, sorted and baled. About 150 recycling trucks dump material at the facility daily from about 50 communities in the Boston area.
At FCR-Boston, the processing of recyclables is assisted by advanced sorting technology. In addition, recycling processing is labor intensive. This reinforces the importance of properly preparing your recycling!
None of the recyclable containers are washed at the processing facility, so dirty recyclables are considered trash. If a recycling truck is mixed or contains trash, the entire load can be rejected leading to additional processing costs and more material sent to landfill or incinerators. This is why it is important that you rinse out jars, cans and tubs so that the materials are free from food. In addition, it is equally important to keep your papers separate from your containers since the truck has separate compartments and they are going to different sorting areas in the recycling processing facility.
