Recycling
Behind the Scenes: Sonoco Recycling
UVA Recycling sells the sorted Aluminum, Steel, Plastic, Paper, and Cardboard to another processor,
Sonoco Recycling. Sonoco Recycling combines our materials with others, makes them into even larger
bales, and sells the bales to companies that make the recycled material into new products. The
pictures below were taken at that processing site.
