Big machines

Fill in for November. This is one of the large machines inside our friends recycling plant. I have no idea what it does but the three men on the top spend their time sorting whatever is coming down the conveyor belt. This is just one of the many different machines they have for sorting different types of rubbish.

Interesting shot.

I would sometimes like to know how the contents of our recycling bin are sorted and processed. Good shot.

@peterlgrave @sueb47 Thank you both for your comments. I would have liked to have spent a little more time looking around the plant but it was such a busy place with wagons, fork life trucks etc whizzing about that you felt you were in the way :)

We have to separate re-cycling ourselves!

@lavenderhouse This plant deals with industrial waste, building rubble, as well as household waste. We watched a guy working at a machine that stripped the plastic coating off heaps of electric wire.
