PORTSMOUTH, Va. — In most areas of the country more than half of recyclables don't enter the recycling system because those items are thrown in the trash. But some in Portsmouth are taking that trash and making sure certain materials are recovered. More than 100 tons of garbage move through Portsmouth RDS's MSW transfer facility daily. Roughly a quarter of that waste is made of recyclable items that were thrown away.
