The dome-like building on Charles Street in San Jose is bustling, as it always is on weekday afternoons. Collection trucks arrive in a steady procession to deliver their contents, which are weighed, dumped, sorted, crushed, baled and stacked.
The scene is a familiar one, but it's not business as usual at the GreenTeam materials recovery facility (MRF), where dramatic changes are taking place in a closed-off section of the 20,000-square-foot structure. There, standard conveyors, bins and "10-finger picking" operations have given way to mechanical sorting and separating equipment that will soon accommodate the City of San Jose's move to single-stream recycling.
