What is “Commingled” or “Single Stream Recycling?”

Wat is comingold or singol estrin resaiclin?

All recyclables (paper, plastic, glass, steel and aluminium cans) are collected in a single wheelie-
bin, compacted and sorted later at a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF).

Commingled systems have two main parts, the collection phase and the sorting phase.

2. Sorting Commingled RecyclingCommingled collections require a mechanised “Materials
