Knight Division TacticalDoes KDT provide recycling for fire camps?
Recycling Services
Yes.
KDT provides on-site incident recycling services for wildfire camps: recycle stations set up and kept emptied across camp, sorting and back-haul processing, hauling recyclables to the nearest processing center, and waste diversion tracking and reporting to the incident.
Typical configuration
- Primary recyclables
- Batteries, wood pallets, scrap metal, plastic #1 and #2, corrugated cardboard, paper
- Large “Triple” station
- Three or more co-located 50–64 gal roll-carts: landfill, bottles and cans, mixed paper
- Staffing
- Scaled to the camp, any size
- Hauling
- Haul capacity scaled to the camp so nothing overflows
A big fire camp throws away a lot: cardboard from every delivery, pallets, plastic bottles, cans, batteries and scrap. Incident recycling pulls that material out of the trash stream before it goes to the landfill. KDT prices it as an all-inclusive daily rate for a camp size, with additional rates as the camp grows.
KDT sets up, maintains and tears down standardized recycle stations, with landfill and recycling receptacles always side by side, keeps them from ever overflowing, sorts back-hauled waste and recyclables, hauls recyclables to the nearest drop-off or processing center, and tracks and reports waste diversion. The basic service manages the primary recyclables: batteries, wood pallets, scrap metal, plastic #1 and #2, corrugated cardboard and paper. KDT works to a documented waste diversion rate of 30%+. Recycling runs alongside the camp's dumpster and roll-off trash service, which KDT can also supply.
KDT staffs to your headcount, any size, with an on-site recycling operations manager at the recycle center, and coordinates station placement with your Facilities and Food Unit Leaders.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide recycling for fire camps?
Yes. We set up and run on-site incident recycling: stations across camp, sorting, hauling and waste diversion reporting, staffed to the size of the camp.
What gets recycled at a fire camp?
The basic service covers the primary recyclables: batteries, wood pallets, scrap metal, plastic #1 and #2, corrugated cardboard and paper. Food waste and compost can be added as an optional service.
Does recycling replace the dumpsters?
It runs alongside them, and KDT can supply the dumpster and roll-off service too. The recycling crew manages its own recycle stations and recycle center and pulls easily accessible recyclables out of the dumpsters.
