EDCO Recycling Facility in San Diego

 Our class toured the EDCO Recycling Facility in San Diego this past weekend. EDCO has received fourteen consecutive award from the California Integrated Waste Management Board's Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP) for implementing successful programs to reduce, reuse and recycle waste, and for buying products made from recycled materials. EDCO has 2 MRF's (materials recovery facility) at the location. A clean MRF for the recovery and recycling of paper, plastic, metal, glass materials and another facility for recovery and recycling of construction and demolition materials. We toured the C & D facility with Mr. Bob Hill, Director of Recycling at the facility. Bob was very personable and informative, answering all of our questions. After suiting up in safety vests, hard hats, goggles, and breathing masks, Bob gave us a great tour of the operation.
