Residential Single Stream sorting and processing is not easy, but our experience can help you. Over the past 35 years of installing waste sorting systems, including placing equipment in over 200 single stream MRFs throughout North America, we’ve learned a thing or two. By partnering with us, you will have comfort in knowing that every last detail from initial concept and equipment layout to parts and service support for your single stream sorting system will be in expert hands.
We want to design today’s single stream system with the flexibility to process tomorrow’s material.
We go step by step through a series of questions to determine what the best single stream system approach is for you.
Single Stream System Analysis—Big questions:
- What is your inbound material composition?
- What are your labor expectations?
