by Teresa Curry In a recent ENS 230 field trip, students got to see the inner workings of Danville’s recycling center. We had the opportunity to help sort through the various types of plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and milk cartons on a conveyor belt. The experience itself was fascinating, as we were able to see…
