Now the fun part is putting it all back together!In the background, they are installing concrete forms for the solid waste/garbage push wall, doing soil correction where the old in-feed conveyor used to be before the final pours of concrete goes in. Towards the front, old concrete has been cut to trench in new power sources for the new processing equipment.To be continued....#putwasteinitsplace ... See MoreSee Less

The Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) will be undergoing a 10 week outage starting today. The original MRF, constructed in 2002, was ahead of its time for pre-processing MSW/garbage. As part of campus and facility upgrades, the existing depreciated processing equipment will be demoed and removed over the next week to make way for the installation of enhanced sortation and recovery equipment.14 semi flatbeds are on their way from Notre-Dame, New Brunswick Canada (Sparta Manufacturing) with the majority of the new processing equipment.The first load dropped off this morning was transporting the CP Auger Open-ended Screens that will help in removing stringy items from the waste stream - like string lights, bale wrap, extension cords, etc.Pope/Douglas is working hard to #putwasteinitsplaceCheck out what the Auger Screens do!youtu.be/5HEUraheExo?si=A7cSMba0eyPtd9Nt ...
