Mike,



There is a fair amount that gets landfilled. Overseas was trying to recover the plastics a few years back, not sure what they are doing now. A lot will depend on the equipment a recycler has. I deal with a company in Connecticut that has the ability to recover down to dust. As technologies improve, more and more of the metals in the fluff are being recovered. This company posted an interesting video last week of bottom ash being processed. This is the non combustible, non ferrous remains from an incinerator.
