Mixed C&D Debris Recycling Area

This GreenWaste facility processes an extensive amount of mixed debris and debris boxes daily through a 140-foot long C&D sorting conveyor system. The system is utilized to remove a variety of materials; up to 16 products from the typical mixed waste stream.

The sorting conveyor system, which includes elevated work-stations, disc-screens and magnets is located above storage bunkers that hold recovered materials. When the storage bunkers become full, the materials are routed for additional on-site processing, or loaded and hauled to approved recyclers. Residual materials are routed to a landfill for disposal.

The sorting system is capable of sorting 45 tons per hour with an average diversion rate of 82%. We are the only 3rd party certified recycling facility in Sacramento. The diversion rate and tons per hour vary depending upon the type of materials sorted.
