The plastic problem
Get to know Curbie:
Have you ever wondered where your recycling goes? All recycled materials in both Henderson and Buncombe counties go to Curbie’s (Curbside Management Inc.) Material Recovery Facility located in Woodfin, NC. At the facility, materials are sorted, bailed, and sold to recycling markets — where they take on a new life after being made into newer versions of the same recyclable materials.
