With new technologies changing residential recycling, Dem-Con is now branching into the consumer market.
Three years ago, Dem-Con began planning a facility that would take consumer materials disposed of in single-sort (or single-stream) recycling. New technologies have made it easier to separate glass, bottles and cans in the recovery process — so more garbage haulers are now offering single-sort recycling, which doesn’t require homeowners to separate containers.
