ABSTRACT:
A solid waste recovery system processes solid wastes which would otherwise be sent to a landfill by utilizing several stages of systematically separating and processing various components of the refuse. Refuse is trucked in and dumped on a tipping floor of the recovery facility and separated into non-compostables, recyclables, and compostable materials. The non-compostables are further separated into recyclable inorganics which are recaptured as resalable items and into non-compostable organics which are further separated into hospital and clinical wastes to be incinerated or disposed of as hazardous waste, and into petroleum products to be incinerated, sent to a landfill or disposed of as hazardous waste, or recycled. The refuse remaining on the tipping floor is further separated into fuel items for resale or heating the facility, into recyclables which are processed for resale, and into compostables which are blended and ground into fine particles for resale or sent to a compost pad for conversion into compost for resale. The solid waste is recaptured in the form of baled paper and cardboard material to be sold to a paper recycling mill and containerized recyclables such as plastic, glass, aluminum, ferrous metals, etc., to be sold to their respective mills. The non-recyclable refuse is processed into fine particles to be sold in bulk as fluff or after further processing to be sold as compost fertilizer.
