We also are able to magnetically separate and recycle ferrous metals from the ash. Additionally, we separate some non-ferrous metals such as copper or aluminium. Salvaging these valuable metals reduces costs, in addition to saving valuable landfill space.
The entire process takes place inside our triple-lined ash cell, ensuring that the ash is contained in an appropriate disposal area. The metal is picked using a magnet and passes over a screen to ensure that the metal is clean and safe for recycling end-markets.
Heavy Metal
Since 2004, SKB has recovered over 40,000 tons of metal from the MSW ash received from the Hennepin County Energy Recovery Center (HERC).
