Local county recycles toilets, saves dollars

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. -- "We beat them up with a hammer first," said Bill Hallman of Gwinnett County's Department of Water Resources. "And then we take and crush them down even further."

Just the thought will make anyone say "Woo!"

And that's just the beginning of the process when it comes to recycling toilets in Gwinnett County.

"Then we go in there and we pull out all the plastic in the seats," Hallman said.

The warehouse manager for the county's Department of Water Resources told 11Alive News the toilets are broken down into tons of of pieces of porcelain - then used for a little bit of everything from porcelain chips to brand new kitchen counter tops.

Hallman says everyone turns out a winner in the end.

"Recycling it, it's going to be used constructively, so everybody wins," said Hallman. "We're looking to save the county money. We're looking to make good usage of our water."
