About this Event
The Athens-Clarke County Center for Hard to Recycle Materials (CHaRM) is a facility that processes items that can't be normally recycled due to chemical composition and other factors. The RMPH collects, sorts, and bales recyclable materials from all over Athens and beyond to be sold to mills and factories throughout the Southeast.
Join us for a free tour of these two facilities in Athens, GA. Students will learn about the recycling process, facility history, and more!
