recycling plant tour

after we got a garbage truck/recycling plant video from the library, pace has become obsessed with being a "material handler", crushing things, and compacters.  i called the local recycling plant to see if they did tours, and they said yes!  we weren't counting on the frigid weather when we scheduled the tour...i'm not sure how it normally works, but they said they don't operate the car crusher and can compacter when it's so cold.  so we went into the sorting shack and the workers showed us how they weigh things, cut things down, and sort things by material and color.  then we saw the material handler grapple truck, and that was it.  we're definitely going to have to go back when it's warmer out to see the things we missed!
