Montgomery, Ala., is no longer asking residents to separate their trash from recyclables. Instead, the city has invested in RePower South machinery and technology to manage separating valuable materials from waste.
According to an AL.com report, RePower claims it can divert 60 percent or more of Montgomery’s trash from landfills. That amount is much higher than Alabama’s overall 25 percent diversion rate, but the business model remains unproven, the report notes.
