A system is proposed for the treatment of essentially all the wastes arising in a community, and for recovering useable products therefrom, based on a combination of pre-sorting and mechanical and manual separation. Clean dry secondary organic wastes such as paper and textiles are separately baled for re-use, contaminated secondary organic wastes are prepared for re-use as fuel; primary organic waste such as wood and other vegetable matter is prepared, as appropriate, as fuel, as compost or for re-use as wood chips. Mixed wastes are separated by size and by density according to the ease of separation and the increased re-use potential of the separated as opposed to the mixed materials.

A method for the reclamation of wastes comprising (a) assembling at a waste reclamation center dry secondary organic wastes that have been separated into generally uncontaminated waste, waste contaminated with lesser amounts of extraneous matter, and waste contaminated with greater amounts of extraneous matter, (b) transferring said generally uncontaminated waste in a first processing line to a packing zone within the center, and packaging same for primary reuse, (c) transferring said lesser contaminated waste in a second processing line to a pelletizing zone within the center and pelletizing the same for reuse as a fuel, and (d) in a third processing line separating from the waste contaminated with greater amounts of extraneous matter (1) components suitable for use in step (b), and (2) components suitable for use in step (c), and (e) transferring said components (1) and (2) to said first and second processing lines respectively.
