Resource recovery is the retrieval of recyclable waste, which was intended for disposal, for a specific next use. It is the processing of recyclables to extract or recover materials and resources, or convert to energy. This process is carried out at a resource recovery facility.
In addition, almost all municipal waste landfills and resource recovery facilities accept residual waste. About one quarter of the state's hazardous waste capacity is used to process or dispose of residual waste. Most residual waste is processed and/or disposed on the site where it is generated.
