Recycling
Wet/Dry Program:
· This residential recycling and composting program was launched in November 2001 throughout Kent County.
· The next phase of the program is to include the Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (ICI) sectors.
· Dry waste, which includes recyclables and non-recyclables, is placed in blue transparent bags and sent to the WASWC Dry plant. Here, recyclables are recovered, baled, and sold on the market.
· Approximately 42% of the Dry waste is recovered
· Residents of Kent may also participate in the following WASWC recycling initiatives:
- Sneaker Recycling, 2001
- Cell Phone Recycling, 2002
- Milk Carton Recycling, 2003
- Wet waste, which includes organics and wet contaminated waste, is placed in a green transparent bag and sent to the WASWC Wet plant. Through a series of screens, organics are recovered to produce compost.
