WHITE MARSH, Md. (WJZ)—The auto giant General Motors is touting the fact that most of its manufacturing plants no longer send trash to landfills. They have 100 such facilities, and as Mike Schuh reports, one of the first was in White Marsh.
More than 400 transmissions roll out of this plant each day. Into Caddys and Chevys they go.
Years ago, such production would have meant a mountain of trash.
Now, everything is recycled. There are bins all over the place.
“Everything in the plant goes somewhere other than a landfill,” said John Peasland, facility manager.
They’ve gone far beyond the easy recycling like metal shavings.
