1 Vision Recycling has partnered with the County of Santa Cruz in a full wood & green waste recycling program. Vision supplies to the partnership with three (3) grinders, a large trommel screen and ample equipment to aptly tackle the task. We are Ready!!! Our trommel screen is custom built to our specifications in order to process between 120 to 150 cubic yards of material per hour. Screening offers an easy way to reduce cost, increase product quality, and add value. Trucking & mobilization with an image which all Stakeholders can be proud of! Development of fine quality recycled products to be available for residents of the local S.C. Community.

2 Vision Recycling Represents Santa Cruz County Well Soil Amendment Grinding Mulch Trommel Screen Wood Chips

3 Wood Chips ~Mulch ~ Soil Amendments What do you get with a Vision The following pages show our verity of products made from these typical feedstock's. These many fine commodities are all made in, and for Santa Cruz County!

4 Compost A rich dark compost made from a combination of green waste and food scraps which has been shredded and stored for 14 weeks within a 100 cu yd plastic bag with forced air injection system to maintain aerobic conditions within the bag. The material is monitored for temperatures (reaching 135 degrees or more), air flow and moisture. The result is a MATURE COMPOST. A stable humus material that EcoComp Improves soil structure Improves nutrient holding capacity Reduces soil compaction and crusting Reduces fertilizer requirements Increases ease of cultivation Improves root growth and yields Improves water infiltration and drought tolerance Protects plants from disease Increases microbial and earthworm populations Prevents erosion of embankments, roadsides, and hillsides. Binds heavy metals in contaminated soils. Degrades many pesticides. Absorbs odors and degrades volatile organic compounds

5 Wood Chips Golden Blend GOLDEN BLEND DESCRIPTION: This is a very light colored wood chip; sometimes referred to as Blonde Woodchip. SOURCE MATERIAL: Made from pallets, and various light colored wood products. PRODUCT SIZE: 2 or smaller APPLICATIONS: Great mulch for landscape applications where a light background is desired. This product is good for mulching large foot traffic areas and walking paths, tree rings and decorative flower beds. Most nails and other ferrous metals are removed; however, there is no guarantee that it is metal free. (Magnets address themselves only to ferrous metals which leave non-ferrous metals -brass, copper, stainless steel, etc.). PREMIUM WOODCHIPS SOURCE MATERIAL: Made from dimensional lumber, trusses, wood scraps and construction debris. DESCRIPTION: Premium Woodchips are non-treated wood products, pre-sorted for color and inspected to remove unsightly debris; then processed twice to a consistent popular size. PRODUCT SIZE: 2 or smaller APPLICATIONS: Premium Woodchips are excellent for decorative landscape mulching applications where fine textured reddish brown mulch is desired. Premium Wood Chips

6 Mulch FOREST FLOOR DESCRIPTION: This material is dark, and has a coarse stringy texture, and may be screened to remove the fine material. This material frequently contains plastic residue and may not be suitable for residential landscapes. SOURCE MATERIAL: Made from brush, yard trimmings, leaves and grass clippings. PRODUCT SIZE: The material is processed through 3 or 4 inch screens. APPLICATIONS: This product is excellent as economic mulch for large areas requiring erosion control and weed suppression, as well as for use as a compost feedstock. Forest Floor Wonder Mulch WONDER MULCH DESCRIPTION: Wonder mulch is a combination of all woody materials, ground twice to produce a mulch of consistent size. It is then screened to remove the fine particles to give the mulch loft and prevent compaction. The materials are separated and inspected to reduce the amounts of paper, plastic or other unsightly debris before processing. SOURCE MATERIAL: Made from unpainted, untreated wood from construction debris, pallets, and tree trimmings. PRODUCT SIZE: 2 to 3 inches or smaller. APPLICATIONS: Excellent combination of mulch textures for use under trees or shrubs.

7 Soil Amendments Wood Fines Organic Soil Amendment WOODFINES DESCRIPTION: A combination of all woody materials ground through 2 screens, then screened further to a 3/8 product size. Resembles aged sawdust; mulch may vary in color from one batch to another but is usually a dark brown. SOURCE MATERIAL: Made from brush, yard trimmings, untreated wood and construction debris. PRODUCT SIZE: 3/8th of an inch or smaller. APPLICATIONS: This product is used as very fine textured mulch or as a bulking agent for composting applications. ORGANIC SOIL AMENDMENT DESCRIPTION: Dark humus material produced by the decomposition of vegetative materials. SOURCE MATERIAL: Made from brush, yard trimmings, leaves and grass clippings. PRODUCT SIZE: The material has been screened to 3/8th of an inch. APPLICATIONS: Soil Amendment, also known as screened fines, is great for conditioning various soil types for landscape and gardening applications, composting, and to retain moisture in sandy soils. It is also used to loosen up heavy clay soils and increase loamy texture to provide for easier plant root penetration.
