Orlando, Florida-based Sustainable Green Team Ltd. (SGTM), a provider of tree and storm debris recycling services, has announced the installation of a dual line mulch bagger and electric grinding and screening operation at the Apopka, Florida, landfill location of Waste Management Inc.(WM).
SGTM says it is now able to increase its mulch production by 4 million bags per year by operating one shift per day at the Apopka facility. SGTM says Apopka, about 20 miles from Orlando, “is strategically located in Central Florida for optimal reach.”
The installation of the equipment “will allow full vertical integration at WM’s landfill by utilizing unused debris that would normally be buried there,” according to SGTM. It says the formerly unused debris will now be recycled and branded into a mulch product using the automated equipment installed at the landfill site.
“This is a pivotal advancement,” says Tony Raynor, SGTM’s CEO and director. “With our strong relationship with Waste Management, we are progressing toward achieving true green sustainability.”
In addition to the Apopka Installation, SGTM in July has achieved a playground association certification for its mulch to be used as a surfacing material, which it says will help it tap into a $4 billion market.
SGTM says it provides tree services, debris hauling and removal, biomass recycling, and mulch manufacturing, packaging and sales.
