Metro Recycling Solutions

Most people are aware that recyclable materials are collected from households across the state, processed at a local material recovery facility, and then sent to a manufacturer who makes it into a new product. What many people don't know is how the logistics are managed between collecting, selling and processing. That’s where Metro Recycling Solutions comes in.
