Atomic Recycling

As part of the fall Master Recycler/Composter class, the new MRCs toured Atomic Recycling, which handles construction and demolition waste. They are able to separate out and recycle an average of 72% of the materials in every dumpster. Atomic's MRF (materials recovery facility) is in north Minneapolis.


Hosing down the materials as they're dumped to lessen the dust.




There are two sorting lines. Materials such as wood, metals and cardboard are separated into hoppers next to the conveyer belt. Click here for a list of what Atomic can and can't recycle.

  1. Keep in mind that the way you load your Renting Dumpster depends on the type of dumpster you have obtained on rent. The commonly used Renting Dumpster for construction projects are loaded from top and they have an opening that extends the entire length of the unit.
