What is single stream recycling?

Single-stream (also known as “fully commingled” or “single-sort”) recycling refers to a system in which all paper fibers, plastics, metals, and other containers are mixed in a collection truck, instead of being sorted by the depositor into separate commodities (newspaper, paperboard, corrugated fiberboard, plastic, glass, etc.) and handled separately throughout the collection process.

Testimonials

Faherty Incorporated has been the solid waste and recycling contractor for the City of Platteville for well over the 21 years I have been with the City. Ed and Greg Faherty and their staff are a part of the community and are very responsive to their customers. They work with us for special events as well as the weekly routine collections. They coordinate collection on streets that are under construction so that residents have one less thing to worry about. They also assist with recycling grant submissions and reports to reduce the burden on city staff. All in all, a great partnership with the City of Platteville.
