What Happens To My Garbage After It's Taken?

While most homeowners tend to turn a blind eye to their garbage the minute it’s dragged

to the curb, it’s sometimes important to know a little more about the process, impact, and
sustainability the entire process has. Between regular garbage and recycling, there are a

ton of different ways they’re thrown out, recycled, reused and destroyed -- so in 2018, it

should be known the type of impact you make! Below are a few things you should know

about your trash when it’s hauled off!

Regular Garbage

In most cases, regular garbage is brought to a center where it is sometimes separated,

and left to decompose over time. Depending on what type of garbage it is, some is sorted

and reused in specific applications for the future. This includes food, cloth material, rubber

and more. While some of these are thrown out, it’s important to note that there are special

uses for them -- and they can be beneficial to the environment!

Recycling Material

Sustainability in the United States has become a collective effort by almost everyone who

uses the material on a daily basis -- and you’re part of the step forward! After your recyclable

material has been hauled off, it is to be sorted and then used in creating new items that not

only cost less, but help preserve our environment on a grand scale. In City Carting’s case,

our single-stream recycling center does that with the combination of both machinery and

hands-on work that is unsurpassed in the Stamford area. We help make a big difference --

mainly due to your efforts!

Electronic Waste

Similar to recycling, electronics are broken down and reused where applicable as well, the

process is just a bit longer. Most of the time, smaller electronics can be sorted in trash, but

there are a ton of different retailers and city-specific locations where you can drop them off.

Believe it or not, disposing of your electronic waste in a manner like this has a ton of

environmental benefits and can also provide useful and necessary recycled electronics to

those in need around the country.  

Providing homes and businesses with effective waste management is a service that City

Carting & Recycling has been doing for over 35 years. If you’re looking for dumpster rental
