Professional Landscape Waste Diversion Program
Our professional team understands the importance of organized and efficient green waste diversion. To facilitate this, we have established a designated area specifically for green waste consolidation. This space lets us cleanly and effectively sort through the materials, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
The landscape waste collected by our collection trucks and the material self-hauled by local landscape companies and the public undergoes a rigorous transformation at our facility. Our dynamic approach to green waste diversion involves meticulously screening the material for contamination, items that are unacceptable in the green waste recovery process.We remove the contaminates and then employ an industrial-size grinder to break the green waste into manageable, processable pieces. This critical step allows us to prepare the material for its next recycling phase efficiently and effectively.
