Elijah stood at a stand, that was about the same size as a witness stand in court.
All the workers had their own box-like stand around the conveyor belt.
"Morning bro"
"Morning Wally"
"Ohhh... here it comes, get ready!!"
Elijah looked at the
'Vrrrmmmmmm!!'
The recyclables were moving at a moderate speed towards them.
As the waste moved closer, Elijah's eyes were quickly scanning what he should leave or remove.
His job, as well as all the other 49 workers around him... was to make sure that only recyclable material passes this phase.
He would remove things like plastic bags and other non-recyclables... and throw them down a large hole on the right side of his 'stand'.
The hole was like a large laundry shoot, that dropped non-recyclables, from the second floor back to ground level.
Once at ground level, they would be sent to the non-recyclable sector within the plant.
