What does a recycler do?
A recycler takes certain used materials and prepares them to be processed and used again. This can include common items like paper, cardboard, plastic, or metal, along with other materials depending on the recycler.
Why might one recycler take something another one will not?
Recycling services can vary based on equipment, local rules, processing outlets, and the condition of the material. That is one reason the same item may be accepted in one place but turned away somewhere else.
