APR Kerbside

Here's to a fresh year and a renewed commitment to sustainability! At APR, we're ready to continue innovating and driving change in waste recovery. Cheers to 2025 and to creating a cleaner, greener future together. Happy New Year! 🌍♻️

We’re committed to turning your recyclables into new products! Our efficient materials recovery process ensures that valuable resources are reused and kept out of landfills. Here’s how it works in 6 easy steps: 1. Tips Off – Collection trucks unload mixed recyclables at APR Kerbside MRF. 2. Front-end Load – An excavator loads materials onto a conveyor belt for sorting. 3. Pre-Sorting – Manual sorting removes non-recyclables and contaminants to speed up the process. 4. Ballistic Separator – This machine separates 2D materials from 3D items for better sorting. 5. Manual Sorting – Further manual sorting ensures quality materials are captured before bailing. 6. Processed End-Product – Separated materials are baled and ready for transport to be made into new products. By maintaining a 4-bin system and eliminating glass from the recycling stream, we significantly improve the quality of our end products!

Wishing you a holiday filled with joy from all of us at APR Kerbside. Thank you for your support in helping us make a difference in recycling and resource recovery this year. Here’s to a greener future for all. Happy Holidays! 🌟♻️
