Driving Recycling Efficiency with Sortation at Scale
Once operational, the plant will process up to 62,000 tons of single‑stream recycling every year with minimal human intervention. Powered by AMP’s AI technology, the system continuously fine‑tunes itself, identifying jams, monitoring purity, and adapting to changes on the line without missing a beat. AI integration at the facility level ensures smoother operations and higher recovery rates at scale.
Pay-per-Ton Model for Operational Ease
AMP will operate and maintain the system under a pay-per-ton agreement with guaranteed performance. By assuming accountability for performance day in and day out, AMP enables partners to redirect capital and attention where it matters most. This model delivers clear benefits: lower operating costs, higher diversion rates, purer material streams, more accurate data, and more predictable outcomes.
Leveling Up
This new facility extends a partnership that began in 2020 with AMP’s AI-guided robotics systems deployed across Waste Connections’ material recovery facilities. What began with 24 systems has grown to more than 50. Today’s groundbreaking takes the partnership to a new level.
This groundbreaking represents a big step toward reshaping how recycling facilities operate. By integrating AMP’s AI-powered sortation technology at facility scale, Waste Connections is raising the bar for efficiency, recovery, and reliability in single-stream recycling.
