Municipal solid waste shredding – for any type of household waste
Municipal solid waste (MSW), also referred to as household waste, contains valuable resources that can be extracted and reused, if shredded efficiently. Using an M&J shredder for MSW will reduce your waste materials in size for transportation, easier sorting, better recycling, and energy recovery.
Municipal solid waste varies significantly depending on location, collection methods, and local recycling regulations. Regardless of composition, whether loose or bagged, dry or high in organic content, our robust machines deliver consistent output, ensuring efficient downstream processing.
