From the article:

ReCommunity, headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., has started up its newest material recovery facility (MRF) in Tucson, Ariz. The MRF, designed, manufactured and installed by CP Group, San Diego, will be able to process 25 tons of recyclables per hour, according to ReCommunity. The installation was completed in July, and the facility is now in full operation.

The system is designed to process old newspapers, mixed paper, cardboard, beverage cartons, steel, aluminum and glass from the city’s residential recycling program.

“We are committed to leading the recovery revolution for forward-thinking communities by repositioning waste as a strategic community resource instead of a growing liability,” says Sean Duffy, ReCommunity president and COO. “Our ability to create significant positive gains for our community partners hinges on leveraging world-class operational and design expertise for our facilities.”
