FOX Business' Jeff Flock took 'Mornings with Maria' viewers through a Pennsylvania facility which has recovered millions in tossed away coins over several years.
The expression "one man's trash is another's man's treasure" is near and dear to one Pennsylvania waste management facility that bridges the divide between trash and treasure on a massive scale – collecting $10 million in lost change since its inception. "What we have is a series of assorted materials," Rebecca Guardino, Director of Ash Processing at Reworld, told FOX Business' Jeff Flock as they sorted through a bin inside the facility on Monday.
Flock traveled to Morrisville, Pennsylvania to see the operations happen in real time, where he walked around the building to watch machines sift through incinerated trash, forcing coins to fall through round holes before they're sorted into bins. Once sorted, the coins go through a washing station to come out shining like new and are spread out on a rack to dry.
According to Reworld's estimations, Americans throw away approximately $68 million in change each year – and the buckets of pennies, quarters, nickels and dimes they collect are a testament of that. A recent Wall Street Journal report said the company began collecting the coins in 2017 after noticing a considerable amount of them in the trash.
