Where do Milwaukee's Recyclables Go?

KW Plastics

Plastic tubs & lids, such as those that contained dairy products like yogurt and sour cream, as well as bulky #2 plastics, such as 5-gallon buckets and laundry baskets are sent to Troy, Alabama. They are processed by KW Plastics and made into products like new plastic paint cans. KW Plastics also grinds, washes and processes these plastics to produce resins for use in the manufacturing of a variety of new plastic products including everything from automotive parts to new containers.
