Organics Processing

1st High Diversion Organics Processing Facility in the U.S.

The GreenWaste San Jose Material Recovery Facility is California’s first, and only, high diversion organic waste processing facility.  This facility does not rely solely on customer-source separation, and instead, uses technology to extract the organic content directly from municipal solid waste for composting, ensuring SB 1383 compliance and higher organics diversion rates.

Anaerobic Digestion

1st Commercial Dry Fermentation Anaerobic Digestion Facility in the U.S.

The GreenWaste Renewable Energy Digestion Facility utilizes dry fermentation anaerobic digestion technology to provide an additional solution for organics and in the process, produces a feedstock for composting and renewable energy in the form of electricity that is utilized to power the facility and California’s grid.

Zero Emissions Vehicles

1st All-Electric Full-Sized Side-Loading Refuse Truck in the U.S.

GreenWaste has been at the forefront of zero emissions vehicle (ZEV) adoption, partnering with manufacturers to help create waste ZEVs in our communities. In 2017, GreenWaste debuted the world’s first all-electric full-sized side-loading refuse truck.  We have since added additional ZEVs to our collections fleet, with more on order, as we continue to prioritize ZEVs in our fleet.

Material Processing

1st to Process Solid Waste and Recyclables Side-By-Side in the U.S.

The GreenWaste San Jose Material Recovery Facility was the first facility in the United States to process the mixed solid waste and single-stream recyclables side-by-side. This state-of-the-art facility is the only High Diversion Mixed Waste Processing Facility in the U.S.

Demolition Recycling

1st Automated Demolition Recycling Facility in the U.S.

GreenWaste opened the first automated demolition recycling facility in the United States. This first-of-its-kind facility was specifically designed for the high-weight needs of demolition waste. After numerous innovations and upgrades over the years, this facility is still operational and is one of the most technologically advanced C&D recovery facilities in the nation.
