Full Day Tour: Every wondered where most of New Mexico's cardboard goes to get turned into new cardboard boxes? Spend the day first touring the Bio-Pappel Albuquerque processing facility where cardboard and other recyclables are sorted and consolidated for shipment to end-market processing. Then head out to the Prewitt Bio-Pappel cardboard recycling mill. it is the largest end-processor in our state, employes 120 and is one of the greenest facilities of its kind with reverse osmosis water recycling and steam by-product energy from a co-located energy generating station. The mill is an amazing experience to behold for anyone in the recycling field.


Half day Tours: We will also host two half-day afternoon tours. One tour takes you to the Torrance County and the Estancia Valley Solid Waste Authority new hub processing facility as well as one of their spoke drop-off locations. Another tour is being worked up to visit several locations that are either mulching or composting organic materials.


Tours are included as part of your conference registration.
