Reworld expands access to zero-waste-to-landfill solutions with new transfer model
The model streamlines waste flows in Indianapolis by grouping and routing materials from the Fort Wayne United Dumpster transfer station
Operations at a new United Dumpsters transfer station in Fort Wayne, developed by Reworld, will provide local manufacturers with a cost-effective pathway to achieve zero waste-to-landfill.
The facility includes a dedicated bay for profiled waste, allowing companies to deliver materials locally for consolidation and transport to the Reworld Indianapolis Thermomechanical Treatment Facility (TTF). Reworld TTFs process waste at temperatures above 1,100 degrees Celsius (2,012 degrees Farenheight), widely cited as effective to destroy forever chemicals. This approach eliminates the need for individual long-haul shipments, which would increase truck traffic, pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions.
Material collected at the site is bulked and transported to the Reworld Indianapolis TTF, reducing transportation costs for participating companies. The model enables manufacturers to advance sustainability initiatives without the time and expense of managing individual shipments or relying on landfill disposal.
"This partnership creates a practical, scalable solution for manufacturers that want to reduce landfill disposal but lack local access to Reworld facilities," said Blake Williams, owner of United Dumpsters. "By consolidating waste material at the transfer station, we're making zero waste-to-landfill more accessible and cost-effective for the broader Fort Wayne manufacturing community."
