Fallbrook Climate Action team presents community recycling 101

FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Climate Action Team will present a talk about recycling on Tuesday, June 29 at 6:30 p.m. on Zoom. The speaker, Bob Hill, is the recycling director at EDCO Waste Reduction.

This talk will be helpful for anyone who is confused about what can and can't be recycled. They will also find out what is wishcycling. Spoiler alert: Wishcycling is the process of placing discards into the recycling bin even when there's little to no chance for their recovery.

Initially, the term emerged from within the recycling and waste industry as a response to the influx of non-recyclables "contaminating" the recycling stream. (From Discardstudies.com). Those who attend the meeting will also find out what happens to the materials they put into their blue bin.

FCAT presents monthly presentations about climate change and mitigation, usually on the last Tuesday of the month on Zoom. To receive the Zoom link, sign up for the group's eblast at fallbrookclimateactionteam.org.
