If you are a customer of Dixon Trash Disposal, you’ll be happy to know that your garbage will no longer be dumped into landfill. Thanks to a new relationship with van der Linde Recycling, Dixon Trash Disposal has now added a service for trash removal that will help reduce their customers’ impact on the environment by allowing the majority of their garbage to be recycled. The service is called Single Stream Recycling (also known as “fully commingled”). This refers to a system in which all paper fibers and containers are mixed together in a collection truck, instead of being sorted into separate commodities by the resident and handled separately throughout the collection process. In single stream, both the collection and processing systems are designed to handle this fully commingled mixture of recyclables. Residential single-stream programs have greatly increased the recycling rates, recovering as much as three times the amount of recyclable materials. van der Linde’s “Monster Green Machine” can process 100 tons of trash per hour, and recycle the majority of it.
