Rosk'n Roll tour in a local waste sorting center in Lohja

We went on a school trip to rosk´ n roll on Tuesday 28th January.

We went by a bus and we had a guided tour. The first thing we saw was a lot of different trash containers. They have containers for trash that can be recycled and for trash that can’t be recycled. There’s also a container where you can bring things and take things with you. Some stuff like plastic and tires cost to bring there, because they have to reuse it. About couple of moths ago they started to recieve hard plastics. 

They seperate some type of light bulbsand they have a whole container of apples, because many of the finnish apples have a mummy disease and they can be recycled. Fridges are in a different container than other electronic stuff. In one continer they have old roof tiles that had lot of asbestos it was really popular about 50 years ago. There were a few hills and they were made of old trash. So basically they started to collect trash in to one big pile in the 80’s and eventually it became a one big hill

We learned a lot there about what they are doing and how they are doing things. We weren’t there for too long, because the weather was bad and there were workers doing their stuff.

In the future they want to offer more jobs for people.
