MSW Ash Metals Recycling
SKB Environmental is at the forefront of tackling PFAS contamination with our innovative solutions. In 2024, we installed a full-scale PFAS pre-treatment system at the SKB Rosemount landfill, marking a significant milestone as the first of its kind in Minnesota and the Nation. Modern lined landfills are part of the solution to responsibly managing PFAS containing waste streams.
With the addition of this state-of-the-art system designed to efficiently remove PFAS from landfill leachate, SKB intends to be the industry leader in the safe and responsible management of PFAS wastes.

About Ash Metals Recycling
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.

Since 2004, SKB has recovered over 40,000 tons of metal from the MSW ash received from the Hennepin County Energy Recovery Center (HERC).
