  1. Rumpke of Ohio, Inc. 2012 Recycling Initiatives Steve Sargent Director of Recycling

  2. 2011-12 Recycling Initiatives Recycling Projects • Dayton Mixed-Glass Processing Facility • Columbus Single-Stream Processing MRF (rebuild) • City of Columbus contract • Regional Single-Stream Transfer Facilities

  3. Public/Private Partnership Rumpke Glass expands into container glass market • Rumpke partnered with Johns- Manville to ship “fine grind” 2004 • OI Agreement Dec. 2010 to add “container” cullet • Required investment $4M • Operational October 2011 • Introduces optical scanning for quality & volume Owens-Illinois●ODNR●Rumpke

  4. Phase I Plan Initial focus to process Rumpke MRF tonnage (2011) As we deplete stored tons, expand customer-base(2012) Inbound mixed-color glass minimum goal is 85%+ clean Outbound shipments project to be 65% fine grind and 35% container cullet. (could change w/new suppliers) Rumpke Glass Plant

  5. Process Flow Bender processing system rated at 25 tons per hour Initial start-up rate has been 20 tons per hour Why? weather(rain), organics, shredded paper Advanced system with production measures built in. Rumpke Glass Plant

  6. Multiple Processing Steps Magnetic Separation (metal) Air Separation (paper/plastic) Manual/Visual Separation Glass Crusher (uniform) Mechanical Screens (size) Drum Dryer (moisture) Eddy Current (aluminum) Optical Scanners(color) Dayton Glass Plant

  7. Clarity Optical Sorters Three(3) installed in plant Essential to move into the container glass market Capital cost per unit exceeds $250,000 (ea.) Focus: glass sized from ½” to 2” inches Dayton Glass Plant

  8. Bender Optical Scanner

  9. Container glass (bottles) orFine Grind (insulation) Initial results reveal 60% is clear and 40% is amber Container glass is stored in inside bunkers Fine grind glass is stored in 125 ton (max.) outside silo Will need sources of larger pieces of glass Dayton Glass Plant

  10. Dayton Glass Plant Amber Cullet Flint Cullet First 60-day results • Met Quality Specs for JM, Reflective & OI. • Shipped approx. 2200 tons in December • Issues: pre-cleaning, storage cover and elevated residue rate (>30%)

  11. Rumpke Columbus MRF MRF rebuild in 2011 Engineered Requirements • Clean #8 Newspaper • Recover and Pre-Clean Mixed Glass to Dayton • Increase production 15tph to 30tph

  12. Rumpke Columbus MRF Produce Marketable Fiber • Residential mixed paper collected at curb and drop box is changing . • More presort and more repetitive screening steps • Can glass and paper be effectively separated? • Yes, but costly endeavor…

  13. Rumpke Columbus MRF Effectively Recover Glass • Glass continues to make up nearly 20% of single-stream • Too many MRF designs treat glass as a by-product Columbus focus 1) Break & Screen early stage 2) Cleaning & Sizing trommel 3) Air classifier for light residue 4) Covered silo storage Screened Glass to Dayton Screened Residue in Columbus

  14. City of Columbus Residential Recycling • For 227,000 residential units • 64 gallon cart program • Alternating week service with Yard Waste service • Service begins with Phase I (Monday) on June 4th/57,000 • Creates 60 jobs (driver/MRF) “RecycColumbus: We were meant for each other”

  15. Single-Stream Transfer System

  16. Single-Stream Transfer System Rural and Non-Metropolitan Areas Phases placement – collection – transfer – processing

  17. Single-Stream Transfer System Transfer System Goals • 3 to 1 consolidation goal • extract bulk cardboard • covered loose storage area Rumpke Mansfield Rumpke Mt. Vernon

  18. Future Focus Commercial Recycling Flexibility of Single-Stream now being used to expand into all segments of the Commercial Stream. Glass included ! Venue Recycling Cincinnati Reds Staff can recycle all materials from their offices, bars and restaurants.
