MetalTech Systems Helps Modernize SC MRF
|
MetalTech Systems has modernized the existing Material Recovery Facility in the City of North  Augusta, SC for both single stream and MSW waste. The modernization by MetalTech Systems includes an Automatic Bag Opening System and Ballistic Separator. The modernization allows the Material Recovery Facility to alternate between single stream material and bagged MSW with minimal downtime for the change over of input material. The ability to handle multiple waste streams is a cost effective transition for North Augusta.

GameDay Challenge Registration Now Open
College Football Fans Challenged to Reduce Stadium Waste
|
The GameDay Recycling Challenge invites colleges and universities across the nation to compete to see which school will produce the least amount of waste in their stadiums and tailgate areas this college football season. Participating schools identify one or more games to report the amount of material diverted through recycling, composting and via food donations versus the amount thrown away.
"Leveraging the school spirit that comes out during these classic football rivalries presents a unique opportunity to build awareness and connection to waste reduction and recycling among college football fans of all ages," said Brenda Pulley, senior vice president, recycling, Keep America Beautiful.
Last season, 88 schools competed in the GameDay Recycling Challenge and 1.5 million pounds of material was diverted from the waste stream. The Challenge is managed by CURC, the Environmental Protection Agency's Wastewise Program, Keep America Beautiful, and RecycleMania, Inc. Sign up for the GameDay Challenge now.
