These materials are collected through the baghouse system, filtered, and sent to a mixer before being transported by commercial vehicles. Dustin expresses his passion for the foundry industry, saying, "It's something about working in a foundry—it gets in your blood. The molten iron, friendships, and the work. Everybody you talk to once they come in, [say] it's hard to go away."
