18 May From Your Curb to Your Roof: Recycled Materials for North Carolina Homes
In recent years, most people have become more aware of and careful about separating the recyclable materials out of their trash. We all keep our special bin for materials like aluminum, paper, steel, and plastic and we haul that bin out to the curb once a week.
But what happens to those materials after we take them to the curb?
