Happy America Recycles Day! At our Materials Recovery Facility, we recycle 125,000 tons a year of items from your recycling bin. Recycling saves energy, saves natural resources & reduces the environmental impacts of making items from virgin material.#recycling #AmericaRecyclesDay


While it’s important to know what should go in your recycling bin, it’s more important to know what SHOULD NOT go in your bin and what will cause problems in our recycling facility. This fun video highlights those items on the NO list: youtu.be/EHprEakTi5c

Since 1999, Dem-Con has been recycling and recovering construction and demolition materials. Mechanical and manual separation techniques are used and results in high quality materials being sent to end markets and being recycled! Learn more about us at dem-con.com.


Lithium-ion batteries cause fires and don’t belong in your bin! While these batteries are great for their high energy, they wreak havoc for the waste & recycling industry because when damaged, they can cause fires. youtu.be/edf8EJ7CKMg

Dem-Con processes 15,000-20,000 tons of shingles per year. Shingles that once were landfill-bound get a new use. The processed shingles get added to asphalt mix and become part of new roads and parking lots. They can also be added to gravel roads to control rutting and dust.


Our landfill in Shakopee accepts manufacturing waste, industrial waste and construction and demolition materials. Our landfill is lined and has leachate collection to prioritize human health and the environment.


Did you know Dem-Con recycles about 125,000 tons per year of recyclables at our Materials Recovery Facility? Recycling saves natural resources and energy as well as reducing environmental impacts of creating new materials. Learn more at dcmrf.com.
