Where Does It Go?
Recyclable Materials are brought to the Monterey Regional Waste Management District (MRWMD) in Marina where they are consolidated and transferred to the GreenWaste Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in San Jose for processing. Recyclable materials are sorted by material type, baled and shipped to market to be given new life.
Yard Trimmings from residents are delivered to the MRWMD in Marina where the materials are screened, chipped and composted. This process produces a high-quality soil amendment that has been certified by the Organics Materials Review Institute.
Food Scraps from commercial businesses are delivered to the MRWMD in Marina and are processed in the SmartFerm Anaerobic Digester to produce a biogas used to produce electricity which is sold to the neighboring waste water treatment plant. The digestate is then composted to produce a high-quality soil amendment.
Garbage is delivered to the MRWMD in Marina for disposal. All the non-recyclable residuals remaining after processing at the GreenWaste MRF and the non-compostable materials remaining after composting at the MRWMD are also sent to a landfill for disposal.
Construction & Demolition Debris is delivered to the MRWMD and sorted on a construction and demolition debris processing line where recyclable, compostable or recoverable materials are separated by material type. All non-recyclable, non-compostable and non-hazardous materials are transferred to the landfill for disposal.
