WM has invested $29 million in automation and recycling technology to boost the processing capacity of the Sacramento Recycling and Transfer Station’s (SRTS) Material Recovery Facility. These enhancements allow the facility to process up to 121,000 tons of material annually, and nearly 605 tons of recyclables daily.
The facility utilizes 16 optical sorters to improve quality control, ensuring that recyclables are sorted into the correct commodity streams. This process results in a higher-quality output that can be repurposed effectively, helping to conserve natural resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The SRTS proudly serves the cities of Sacramento, West Sacramento, Woodland, and Winters, as well as Butte, Glenn, Plumas, Yolo, and Shasta counties.
