Largest recycling project in U.S. with AMP partnership

awarded

The Southeastern Public Service Authority of Virginia (SPSA) has signed a 20-year contract with Commonwealth Sortation LLC, an affiliate of AMP Robotics Corporation, to provide solid waste processing services for SPSA's eight member communities and their 1.2 million residents. The project builds on a pilot in Portsmouth with an AMP ONE system processing up to 150 tons of municipal solid waste per day. AMP will scale its technology region-wide, deploying additional MSW sortation lines and an organics management system capable of processing 540,000 tons annually to divert half of the waste SPSA brings to AMP facilities. The AI-based sorting technology uses cameras, robotics, and pneumatic jets to detect and remove recyclables and organics from bagged trash, aiming to extend landfill life, decrease disposal costs, and adapt to evolving community needs.
