Waste, reinvented.
When waste can’t be reduced or reused, the next best option is recycling. We’re helping to ensure everyday waste like cardboard, bottles, and cans avoid the landfill and find a second life.
Getting Things Sorted
Through a combination of modern equipment and hand-sorting, we’re able to more efficiently separate materials by size and type, ensuring they’re free from contamination by removing any non-recyclable items.
Keeping it Efficient
Separated materials are consolidated and prepared for transportation, creating more efficient loads that further reduce waste’s environmental footprint.
Turning Waste Into a Valuable Resource
Sorted recyclables are sold in the same way as any other raw materials, then transported to DEQ-approved processing facilities to be repurposed into new products.
Why Recycling Matters
Conserves Resources
Recycling saves resources and energy by reducing the need for new materials that would have to be harvested or mined, processed, manufactured, and transported.
Supports Our Economy
The recycling industry provides a domestic source of raw materials, helping to support American manufacturing and creating hundreds of thousands of jobs.
Protects Our Communities
Recycling more materials means less waste in our landfills and incinerators. That means less emissions and more clean, beautiful spaces where we can live and recreate.
