People in Jacksonville are recycling trash and other dangerous items

Trash and other dangerous items are being placed in Jacksonville recycling bins – and it could end up costing taxpayers more money. No matter where you live in Northeast Florida, the materials you recycle end up at the Republic Services recycling plant on Imeson Road. General Manager Bill Brinkley says more than a quarter of the 350 tons of material coming into the recycling plant each day is trash — or other contaminants — and it can not be recycled.
