Shred bulky waste with M&J shredders

Shredding bulky waste for easier handling, recycling, or disposal

Bulky waste can be a challenge for most recycling systems, as the oversized items are difficult to handle, store, or dispose of without proper size reduction. However, with the right shredder, valuable resources can be extracted from the often tough and odd-sized waste.

At M&J Recycling, our heavy-duty industrial shredders are built to handle oversized items like mattresses, sofas, pallets, industrial cardboard rolls and wooden beams from demolition with ease. By reducing volume and breaking down even the most stubborn materials, our shredders simplify transport, sorting, and downstream processing, making it easier to recover resources or prepare bulky waste for landfill or energy recovery.

Engineered to tackle the largest, toughest waste

Bulky waste comes in many forms: furniture like sofas and beds, mattresses, carpets, cable drums, plastic tanks, and more. These items often contain mixed materials, e.g. wood, plastic, foam, and small metal scrap, and are typically too large or irregularly shaped for standard shredders.

M&J shredders are designed for this kind of challenge. With powerful slow-speed, high-torque technology and aggressive cutting tools, they tear through dense, mixed, and oversized waste effortlessly.

Regardless of the type of plant or facility you are running, M&J shredders help you recover more value from bulky waste, streamline your operations and reduce your operations costs, day in and day out.
