C&D World attendees visit Zanker Recycling

Tour of San Jose, California, recycling operation included stops at several recycling processing lines, finished products areas and anaerobic digester.


Attendees of the 2016 C&D World in San Jose, California, toured Zanker Recycling as part of the May 1-3 event in San Jose, California.

C&D World is the annual conference of the Construction & Demolition Recycling Association (CDRA).

More than 60 attendees toured the site, which processes a variety of C&D debris on several acres of land. They also sell a variety of landscaping and road base products. The facility also processes drywall and has an on-site anaerobic digester it calls Zero Waste Energy Development Co.

Troy Lautenbach, CDRA convention committee chair, says, “Zanker is one of the best C&D recycling operations in North America because of the variety of materials it processes, as well as the number of lines it has on site, including two mixed C&D lines, asphalt shingle processing, concrete processing and wood recycling.”
