Lunch and Learn - van der Linde Recycling
Tuesday - April 11, 2023
Please join us for a VRA Lunch and Learn opportunity!
Van der Linde Recycling has a new tagline: Rethink Recycling! Recycling encompasses so much more than just paper, plastic, and tuna fish cans. Did you know the EPA reports that over 600 million tons of C&D debris were generated in the U.S. in 2018 which is more than twice the amount of generated MSW! Bulk items such as mattresses, box springs, carpet and carpet padding are also important landfill diversions that are often overlooked. Van der Linde Recycling specializes in the recovery and recycling of items not collected in curbside recycling. Come and see this outstanding facility. They are now the 23rd facility in the Nation and only the 2nd in Virginia to receive certification from the Recycling Certification Institute. Why is this important? It means that via a 3rd party, their recycling rates have been verified and certified as being true and correct. They are also the only recycling facility we know of who runs on solar! This company does not just preach sustainability, they live it.
During your tour, you will get to see first hand their recovery and recycling process of both construction and demolition material as well as mattresses, box springs, carpet and carpet padding. The tour also includes their production yard where they make chips, mulch, gravel, topsoil and fill dirt. If you would like a sneak peak of their facility, you can check out their production and processing videos here.
