History of the Florin Perkins Public Disposal Site

In 2008, Zanker began the extensive permitting process to turn the old Florin Perkins Landfill into the most extensive construction and demolition debris recycling operation in Sacramento. The Florin Perkins Public Disposal Site (FPDS) is specifically permitted to accept and process C&D as well as other mixed debris from contractors, haulers and homeowners. Besides these materials the site will also accept source separated wood waste, sheet rock, concrete, soil, asphalt shingles, wood shingles and demolition debris.

Mixed C&D Debris Recycling Area

FPDS processes an extensive amount of mixed debris and debris boxes daily through a 140-foot long C&D sorting conveyor system. The system is utilized to remove a variety of materials; up to 16 products from the typical mixed waste stream.

The sorting conveyor system, which includes elevated work-stations, disc-screens and magnets is located above storage bunkers that hold recovered materials. When the storage bunkers become full, the materials are routed for additional on-site processing, or loaded and hauled to approved recyclers. Residual materials are routed to a landfill for disposal.

The sorting system is capable of sorting 30 tons per hour with an average 70 to 80% diversion rate. The diversion rate and tons per hour vary depending upon the type of materials sorted.
