Garbage to landfills to recycling......? Can somebody explain to me the steps it take for garbage from your home to reach the landfills and finally recycled?

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

From the curb to either a solid waste transfer station or directly to a solid waste landfill. To date, nothing is recycled at our landfills.

Recycling begins at your curb, typically seperated by commodity, picked up, and hauled to a recycling center. If a city does not have these services, homeowners have to take their recycled materials to a recycling center/bins. Bins are picked up by centers and processed back at their facility. They package/compact the recyclable material and sell it to markets who then transform the goods to useable product. 100% 8 Votes
