WM has invested approximately $30M to help drive circularity in the State of Ohio, by investing in a state-of- the-art single stream recycling facility in Cleveland.
This facility features optical sorting scanners for both fibers and plastic that work to optimize the recovery and quality of recycled materials. Additionally, the operation includes system upgrades to support glass recovery and clean-up, as well as an advanced fire detection system designed to detect fires before they spread. The WM Cleveland Recycling Facility is capable of processing 144K tons a year of material, potentially giving materials a second life, and providing greater opportunity for local solutions for single stream recycling.
