The Georgia Ports Authority says its decade-long recycling efforts are paying off - with 2.73 million pounds of scrap metal recycled at the Port of Savannah last year. Port officials say the recycled metal accounts for about 32 percent of the total solid waste generated at the Savannah port in 2008. The port recycles scrap metal from damaged equipment, used parts, cables and other materials. Selling the scrap pays for the recycling program at the Savannah port, which is the fourth-largest in the U.S.
