Rockwood Sustainable Solutions offers several avenues for your business to reduce its footprint by repurposing waste materials into energy. Our collections division takes the waste your business produces and removes as much of the recycled materials as possible; partnering with you, the customer, to create an easy, unique, and creative solution for dealing with your waste and recycling needs.
Doing our part in contributing to a circular economy, Rockwood Sustainable Solutions takes in nonhazardous waste materials from a wide range of sources and clients and turns them into usable materials. Some of the industries we commonly collect waste materials from include:

Learn MoreRockwood has been processing shingles since 2014 and has a great reputation in Tennessee for quality RAS (recycled asphalt shingle) processing and production.
Recycling and sustainability solutions should not be one size fits all. Just as every one of our clients are unique, every solution we devise for them is unique, too. RSS has worked with some of Middle Tennessee's largest manufacturing companies to develop ways to deal with their waste items. We take pride in thinking outside the box and coming up with creative ways to solve our clients’ problems.
In working with clients to develop a creative solution to decrease their company’s footprint, we often do a site overview and walk through of processes to aid us in developing a strategy for sustainable material management. Rockwood can utilize dry van trailers, roll off containers, or other equipment to meet the needs of our customers. In addition, we can work with all major haulers to provide resources for collection and recycling. Most of our existing customers have utilized our services to increase efficiency in wood recycling, processing, and transportation options; however, we have also advised on site waste to energy options as well as full scope recycling management plans. When you work with Rockwood, you gain the benefit of our creativity, efficiency, and experience in creating unique solutions that work for you.
