Covering 105,000-square-feet, the recycling center is estimated to manage recyclables from approximately 3 million people throughout Greater St. Louis and surrounding communities.
The high-capacity facility will process up to 45 tons, or nine truckloads, of single-stream recyclables per hour.
This location will accept a wide range of recyclables, including paper, cardboard, plastic bottles and jugs, aluminum and metal food and beverage cans, and glass bottles and jars.
Cutting-Edge Recycling Technology
St. Louis Recycling Center is designed with state-of-the-art recycling technology, including:
- A minimum of 10 optical sorters that use digital recognition to identify and separate paper or plastic in milliseconds
- Screening technology that sorts material by size and removes unrecyclable material from the stream
- AI systems that reduce contamination and make real-time adjustments to maximize the volume of materials recycled
