QRS Recycling Line Videos
Watch this video of recycling processes at the QRS facility in Hannibal, Missouri to see how single-stream (commingled) recyclables get sorted and baled. The QRS River Hills facility where Vanderbilt’s recyclables are taken is similar to the QRS Hannibal facility, with the exception that the Hannibal facility loads recyclables onto rail cars, while the River Hills location does not do that at this time.
Watch the video below of recycling processes at the QRS facility in New Albany, Indiana to see how mixed bales from the QRS River Hills facility (and other QRS facilities) are broken apart, sorted by commodity, and sold to beverage container manufacturers and metal recyclers.
