This facility represents the latest generation of transfer station facilities. Unlike a traditional garbage dump, the CARTS facility is a fully integrated materials recovery facility, processing mixed recyclables from a variety of sources, including construction/ demolition materials, trash and recycling from commercial, government, industrial, and residential customers. When a customer orders a trash or recycling dumpster or a trash or recycling roll off bin for home, business, or construction clean-up, it is taken to CARTS for recovery. CARTS recycles over 70% of trash and recycling collected, repurposing it into raw materials for transformation into new products for consumers.
