DURHAM, N.C. - Have you ever wondered what happens after the City of
Durham picks up your curbside recycling cart? Now you have a chance to
find out. For a behind-the-scenes look at what happens once your
recyclables are collected, the City of Durham Solid Waste Management
Department is offering a free bus tour to the Sonoco Recycling Facility
in Raleigh on Friday, May 24.

 

The bus tour will depart at 9 a.m. from the City's Solid Waste
Management Department, located at 1833 Camden Avenue, and return to
Durham around noon. Participants will receive a guided tour of Sonoco
Recycling's state-of-the-art facility followed by a question-and-answer
session with City staff and Sonoco representatives. 

 

Only 18 seats are available on the bus tour and participants must be 12
years of age or older. Children under the age of 18 must also be
accompanied by an adult and all participants must sign a waiver, arrive
in closed-toe shoes, and wear safety glasses and vests that will be
provided by Sonoco Recycling.

reduction coordinator with the City's Solid Waste Management Department,

their name, phone number, and an email address. At least three days
