PETTIS COUNTY GOING GREEN’S PROCESS
CLEAN THE STREAM
We offer municipal support in converting communities from single-stream to dual-stream collection, which will result in less material going to disposal.
UPCYCLE ON SITE
Our goal is to upcycle and increase the value of materials in our streams whenever practical.
MANUFACTURE ON SITE
Our material streams will be received, processed, and, in some cases, manufactured into new products on site.
GATHER ENERGY
We will optimize the value of the material processed at the Pettis County Environmental Material Management Park by upcycling and capturing energy from residual waste products.
