AI robots kick Denver's recycling into high gear
AI-powered robots at Denver's Republic Services recycling facility are improving efficiency by sorting materials faster than humans, reducing waste by 25 tons daily, and allowing workers to transition to more technical roles. The facility, serving Denver and surrounding areas, uses Glacier's AI robots that handle 60-70 pick-ups per minute. A new AI-only recycling facility is being built in Commerce City.
