1 Rumpke of Ohio, Inc. 2012 Recycling Initiatives Steve Sargent Director of Recycling

2 2011-12 Recycling Initiatives Recycling Projects Dayton Mixed-Glass Processing Facility Columbus Single-Stream Processing MRF (rebuild) City of Columbus contract Regional Single-Stream Transfer Facilities

3 Public/Private Partnership Rumpke Glass expands into container glass market Rumpke partnered with Johns- Manville to ship “fine grind” 2004 OI Agreement Dec. 2010 to add “container” cullet Required investment $4M Operational October 2011 Introduces optical scanning for quality & volume Owens-Illinois ● ODNR ● Rumpke

4 Rumpke Glass Plant Phase I Plan Initial focus to process Rumpke MRF tonnage (2011) As we deplete stored tons, expand customer-base(2012) Inbound mixed-color glass minimum goal is 85%+ clean Outbound shipments project to be 65% fine grind and 35% container cullet. (could change w/new suppliers)

5 Rumpke Glass Plant Process Flow Bender processing system rated at 25 tons per hour Initial start-up rate has been 20 tons per hour Why? weather(rain), organics, shredded paper Advanced system with production measures built in.

6 Dayton Glass Plant Multiple Processing Steps Magnetic Separation (metal) Air Separation (paper/plastic) Manual/Visual Separation Glass Crusher (uniform) Mechanical Screens (size) Drum Dryer (moisture) Eddy Current (aluminum) Optical Scanners(color)

7 Dayton Glass Plant Clarity Optical Sorters Three(3) installed in plant Essential to move into the container glass market Capital cost per unit exceeds $250,000 (ea.) Focus: glass sized from ½” to 2” inches

8 Bender Optical Scanner

9 Dayton Glass Plant Container glass (bottles) or Fine Grind (insulation) Initial results reveal 60% is clear and 40% is amber Container glass is stored in inside bunkers Fine grind glass is stored in 125 ton ( max.) outside silo Will need sources of larger pieces of glass

10 Dayton Glass Plant First 60-day results Met Quality Specs for JM, Reflective & OI. Shipped approx. 2200 tons in December Issues: pre-cleaning, storage cover and elevated residue rate (>30%) Amber CulletFlint Cullet

11 Rumpke Columbus MRF MRF rebuild in 2011 Engineered Requirements Clean #8 Newspaper Recover and Pre-Clean Mixed Glass to Dayton Increase production 15tph to 30tph

12 Rumpke Columbus MRF Produce Marketable Fiber Residential mixed paper collected at curb and drop box is changing. More presort and more repetitive screening steps Can glass and paper be effectively separated? Yes, but costly endeavor…

13 Rumpke Columbus MRF Effectively Recover Glass Glass continues to make up nearly 20% of single-stream Too many MRF designs treat glass as a by-product Columbus focus 1) Break & Screen early stage 2) Cleaning & Sizing trommel 3) Air classifier for light residue 4) Covered silo storage Screened Glass to Dayton Screened Residue in Columbus

14 City of Columbus Residential Recycling For 227,000 residential units 64 gallon cart program Alternating week service with Yard Waste service Service begins with Phase I (Monday) on June 4 th /57,000 Creates 60 jobs (driver/MRF) “ RecycColumbus: We were meant for each other”

15 Single-Stream Transfer System

16 Rural and Non-Metropolitan Areas Phases placement – collection – transfer – processing

17 Single-Stream Transfer System Transfer System Goals 3 to 1 consolidation goal extract bulk cardboard covered loose storage area Rumpke Mt. Vernon Rumpke Mansfield

18 Staff can recycle all materials from their offices, bars and restaurants. Commercial Recycling Flexibility of Single-Stream now being used to expand into all segments of the Commercial Stream. Glass included ! Future Focus Venue Recycling Cincinnati Reds
