ReCommunity Issues Inbound Quality Alert

摘要

ReCommunity, a recycling and resource recovery company, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, sees challenges on the horizon for the recycling industry if load safety and inbound quality does not meet commodity/end-market requirements. "Unacceptable items-such as garden hoses, plastic grocery bags, diapers, needles and other medical waste, propane tanks, yard and food waste-expose industry employees to unsafe working conditions, lower productivity, increase disposal costs and reduce end-market material quality," said Jeff Fielkow, ReCommunity Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, in a recent news release. "Just a half-per- cent of contamination in a 20-ton load decreases the value of the entire load."
