Processing & Manufacturing

At Recycle Services, we design our processing and manufacturing operations to handle materials efficiently, from collection to reintroduction into the supply chain.

Every Step Matters

In an era where sustainability and quality are paramount, our processes integrate precision and environmentally conscious practices.

Our comprehensive process meticulously emphasizes precision, uncompromising quality, and sustainable practices. We design each step to ensure that materials are carefully recovered, expertly refined, and thoughtfully prepared to meet the diverse needs of manufacturers and industry partners.

That commitment not only enhances the efficiency of our operations but also contributes to a greener future.

These processes effectively demonstrate the entire lifecycle of recyclable and recoverable materials, encompassing collection and distribution. Each step represents a steadfast commitment to recycling and resource recovery. Collectively, we are fostering a positive impact on the environment.

Collection & Intake

Our process begins with the collection of recyclable and recoverable materials from municipal programs, industrial facilities, and commercial partners.

Customized Collection Programs: We tailor pickup schedules, container systems, and handling methods to each partner’s operational needs.
Source Segregation: Whenever possible, materials are separated at the point of generation to maintain purity and streamline processing.
Inbound Weighing & Inspection: All incoming loads are logged, weighed, and inspected upon arrival to ensure quality control and traceability from the very start.

Material Processing

Once materials arrive at our facilities, they undergo a series of mechanical and optical processes to separate, clean, and prepare them for reuse.

Screening & Sorting: Materials are sorted by type, size, and quality using automated and manual systems.
Crushing & Shredding: Glass and metals are size-reduced for easier handling and downstream use.
Optical Sorting & Magnetic Separation: High-speed optical scanners, magnets, and eddy-current systems identify and separate specific materials for purity.
Cleaning & Decontamination: We remove contaminants such as labels, residues, or non-target materials to ensure the end product meets industrial-grade specifications.

Routine testing throughout processing ensures quality, consistency, and compliance with client and regulatory standards.

Refinement & Manufacturing Preparation

After initial processing, materials are refined and prepared for reintroduction into the manufacturing process.

Glass: Refined into clean cullet, sorted by color and particle size for use in container, fiberglass, beads, and float manufacturing.
Metals: Compacted and baled or shredded into furnace-ready feedstock for foundries and smelters.
Plastics: Washed, pelletized, and prepared for reuse in packaging or industrial products

Transportation & Distribution

Once processed, we distribute materials through our integrated logistics network for efficient delivery to end users and manufacturers.

Fleet Operations: A dedicated fleet of GPS-tracked vehicles ensures timely pickup and delivery across regional markets.
Routing Optimization: Our logistics teams use data-driven routing systems to minimize travel time, fuel consumption, and emissions.
Regional Hubs: Strategically located processing and storage facilities streamline material flow across state lines and supply chains, facilitating seamless distribution of goods.
Partner Coordination: Real-time scheduling and communication ensure seamless transitions between collection, processing, and manufacturing delivery.

Collectively, we are fostering a positive impact.

Working together is vital for our success. We focus on building strong relationships with manufacturers, cities, and industries. By collaborating with you, we ensure that every recycled material is processed and used effectively.

By joining forces, we can enhance material recovery, conserve resources, and establish a robust, sustainable supply chain that benefits all parties involved.
