Apex Waste Solutions collects recyclables from curbside carts, multi-family buildings, and businesses. These materials are transported to a local Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), where they are sorted, cleaned, compacted, and prepared for sale to be repurposed and reused, helping keep valuable resources out of the landfill.
Ensure all items are clean before recycling to prevent contamination during transport.
When recycling dumpsters are full, Apex Waste Solutions collects them from your curb, multi-family property, or business.
Materials are separated by type, inspected for quality, then baled and prepared for sale to end markets.
