City of McKinney’s Post

What's #incineration's role in a city struggling to meet its #recycling rate target? Can that role change in ten years? The Baltimore City Department of Public Works is attempting to answer those questions in its 10-year draft solid waste plan, which now needs approval from the city council before going into effect in 2024. The plan seeks to increase waste diversion and recycling, notably by returning to weekly recycling collection service, an ongoing challenge within Baltimore. But it also has big plans for new transfer stations and an expansion of the Quarantine Road Landfill that could cost nearly $100 million. In the first of a series of articles on Baltimore's waste, Waste Dive is taking a look at the current state of collections and disposal in the city. https://lnkd.in/e8FyVFH5

Congrats to The Recycling Partnership and the City of #jacksonville for reducing contamination in their curbside #recycling bins by 22%! This is a big achievement- let's hope other cities follow suit. Did you know that contamination in single stream recycling results in 11% -33% of deposited material ending up in landfill or incinerators? It's a big problem. One advantage to recycling at Olyns is that contamination is simply not an issue for us. Why? Because our recycling Cubes are smart! We use AI to reject non-recyclable containers before they get into our bins. We also use AI to sort containers into separate bins by material type. The result? Industry leading material recovery rates. #olyns #recycling #curbsiderecycling #bluebin #recycleplastic #circulareconomy #sustainability #recycleplasticbottles #singlestreamrecycling #RVM #ReverseVendingMachine #jacksonville

We're looking forward to seeing the Colorado #recycling community in Fort Collins for the Recycle Colorado Summit! Catch a session with Scott Lewis, MBA, director of municipal partnerships, on June 5: he'll explore how #AI-enabled, next-generation #infrastructure is delivering efficient, accurate sortation of various waste streams and recovering more commodities with minimal human intervention. Learn how these modern materials recovery facilities, by helping to lower capital and operating cost barriers, make recycling viable in more communities and municipalities. https://lnkd.in/gzHagDrc

It is Global Recycling Day 🌍 Did you know that the UK waste and recycling sector, by nature, is an industry highly susceptible to modern slavery. In 2017, Hope for Justice reported that two thirds of the people who fell victim to modern slavery had been placed in waste management facilities. This might look like someone being trafficked to the UK and put to work sorting rubbish for waste and recycling firms, perhaps, via an employment agency. Individuals may speak little or no English, may be living in substandard accommodation and being paid as little as 50p an hour.
