Montessori School of Maui's Recycling Committee takes tour of Aloha Recycling Center
The Recycling Committee went on a field trip to visit the Aloha Recycling Center. We learned what they do to the glass, plastic, aluminum cans, and other recyclable items. They crush the glass and they make it into little tiny bits to use for landscaping and roadways. The plastic bottles and milk cartons get crushed into bales and shipped to China, where they make rugs, the aluminum cans are crushed and baled for shipping, they are re-made into new aluminum cans.
