Description

Join URA for a tour of Wasatch Integrated's new Materials Recovery Facility- a recycling facility in Layton, Utah. The facility is designed to process residential waste, as well as comingled recyclables, for recovery of valuable materials. Waste is processed in a highly mechanized system which recovers recyclable materials for sale to market. Recyclables currently being recovered include cardboard, plastics #1 and #2, aluminum cans, and steel cans. Non-recyclable plastics and some paper are combined to create an engineered fuel which can be used by industrial sources to offset the use of coal. Organics, such as food waste and grass, are concentrated and can be used as feed stock for anerobic digestion which generates renewable natural gas. Residue from the facility is then transferred to a regional landfill extending the life of the Davis Landfill, located in Layton, for many years. PLEASE NOTE: For your safety, sturdy, closed toe shoes are required. Long pants are recommended. All minors must be accompanied by an adult.All tour attendees must register by June 7th, 2022 to ensure access to the site. Please be sure each guest joining you for this tour has registered separately.
