The city says about 30% of what people are putting in their recycling bins is actually contaminated and ends up in the landfill. So the city is asking people to wait and think about where that item really should be going.
The city of Fort Worth recently launched a campaign aimed at educating people about what specifically they're supposed to be recycling.
At the Republic Services Recycling Facility in Fort Worth, you’ll find a moving maze of conveyor belts, specialized machines and people sorting materials by hand."Here on pre-sort, we’re looking out for items that are gonna break our machines and that are gonna cause problems, hang-ups and jams," he explained.
"This is like an AI system," Hillman said. "It knows what the material is, it knows how to recognize it and therefore knows where to sort it." "We’re actually going out into the neighborhoods, and we’re opening up people’s recycling containers and we’re looking to see what’s in there," Bennett said.
