Recycling in Forsyth County has gotten easier for many.Advanced Disposal, a waste management company, held a grand opening for its new “single stream” material recycling facility on Wednesday. While the facility was officially welcomed during a ceremony, it has been operating since mid-January. Marcie Kreager, community affairs manager for Advanced Disposal, said the new $5 million facility off Hwy. 9 in south Forsyth is processing an average of 100 tons of recyclables a day.“It’s a single stream system, which means all the recyclables are co-mingled together,” Kreager said.
