PROJECT PROFILE

In 2018, KBL completed a trial study of the wood waste landfill located onsite. The purpose of the study was to determine the contents of the waste material within the landfill and to realize any potential recovery methods. A series of test pits were advanced. A portion of the landfill was screened using a portable screening unit. An excavator with a magnet attachment was used to separate the steel from the other waste streams. The results of the study showed that the contents of the waste was predominately soil, steel and wood.

A permanent magnetic screener was procured in 2021 to separate the material in the wood waste landfill and to recover clean steel for future use. The screener is equipped with a hopper, conveyor systems, screens and a series of magnets
