At the transfer centre a big green machine like a concrete mixer sorted the recycling. The glass got broken and fell into 2 skips and the big things went up the conveyor belt. People were sorting all the plastics and tins. We saw 5000 milk bottles squashed into 1 bale. Most of the bales went to Hong Kong and China, but now some are recycled in Christchurch, Timaru and Invercargill.
They make about 20 bales of cardboard a day. We could see the cardboard getting squashed through a window in the machine.
