Program Details:
As part of our efforts to educate and inspire our community members to change their lifestyles one baby step at a time, to live in harmony with nature, FCGG has organized this tour to educate us on how much waste we create, and even if we throw things for recycling, so much effort and energy goes into this material waste recovery process. We hope that the tour inspires us not only to recycle everything we can responsibly, but even better than that, consider reducing our consumption and changing our buying habits, so we produce as little recyclable waste as possible.
Recyclable material is sorted at Rumpke’s Cincinnati Material Recovery Facility (MRF). It is one of the largest residential recycling plants in North America and serves 4.5 million people with the capacity of processing at least 55 tons of recycling per hour. The tour includes a short video, a review of items acceptable for recycling and a walking tour of the plant to show how the recyclable materials are sorted. Tours last approximately 60-90 minutes. Tour participants must be at least thirteen years of age.
