LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - Recycling can sometimes feel like a mystery. Tonight, Lake Charles residents got a step-by-step look at the process during the city’s “Summer of Sustainability” event.

At Drew Park, Team Green and Waste Management teamed up to walk residents through the full journey of recyclables — from the moment they’re dropped off, to the time they’re turned into something new.

“We wanna just start with the basics and explain how to recycle correctly,” Beverly Gilchrist, Waste Management District Manager, said. “We’ve got pages of where the recycling trucks are stationed, we have a recycling center in Lake Charles, we have a list of what’s acceptable and not acceptable.”

Here in Lake Charles, Team Green trucks collect recycling from designated sites throughout the week.
