Salinas Valley Recycles Depackaging Services

128 Sun Street Suite 101, Salinas, California 93901
831 775-3000

Depackaging services with their Turbo Separator. 10 tons/hr with 99% clean stream of organic material. Businesses separate all organic packaged materials in a different container from trash and recycling. The de-packager separates all organic materials from its packaging. The de-packaged organic materials are mixed with ground yard waste and composted. The de-packager program is an important step in helping our ag industry, processors, and food service providers, meet increasingly strict State mandates outlined in SB 1383. Additionally, keeping organic waste out of the landfill helps your city meet the Greenhouse Gas reduction credits to comply with the AB 32 . Download the brochure from the website.
