Waste Management of New Hampshire, Inc. - Material
Recovery Facility (MRF) has been designed to process
commingled or source separated materials and prepare
and bale those recyclable materials for shipments
through-out the world to be remanufactured into new
materials and products.
Location: The MRF is located at Turnkey Recycling
and Environmental Enterprises (TREE), in Rochester,
NH. The facility contains a processing system capable
of processing over 900 tons per week of commingled
recyclable materials but also meet the quality control
specifications established by the market end-users.
Operating Procedures: Vehicles enter into our operation
through the TREE, TLR-III Landfill weigh station where
they are video taped, weighed and directed to the
MRF for off-loading. Materials will be primarily segregated
into five categories; commingled containers, mixed
paper, high-grade paper, dry waste and corrugated
cardboard. Mixed Paper and Corrugated Cardboard will
be directly deposited onto the tipping floor and baled
for market. Dry Waste and Commingled Containers will
be processed and baled for market. The non-recyclable
residue from this process will be collected and taken
to Turnkey Landfill for disposal.
