NOVELTY - Processing mixed solid waste (100) involves providing a mixed waste stream comprising wet organic waste (at least 10 wt.%) (114) and dry organic waste (at least 10 wt.%) (116) that is comingled; separating wet waste from dry waste using at least one mechanical separator (112) to produce intermediate wet organic stream and dry organic stream; converting portion of intermediate wet organic stream to at least one renewable product using at least a first conversion technique; and converting dry organic stream to at least one renewable product using second conversion technique.    USE - For processing mixed solid waste to produce biogas for making liquid fuel (claimed); for recycling and conversion of solid waste derived e.g. from commercial, industrial, or residential refuse.    ADVANTAGE - The method offers novel, efficient and high throughput solutions to this long-standing challenge in the waste processing industry. The methods are used to produce recycled products having a suitable purity for use in the recycling industry. The method can mechanically separate the mixed solid waste to produce a wet organic stream enriched in wet organics and a dry organic stream enriched in dry organics. The separated and recovered wet organic and dry organic products constitute high-efficiency feedstock for energy conversion. The wet organic products can be digested in an anaerobic digester to produce biogas or composted for use as a soil amendment. The biogas generated in the anaerobic digester can be compressed or liquefied for use as a transportation fuel and/or can be used to generate electricity and/or heat for use on-site and/or for delivery to the power grid and or converted to liquid fuel. The dry organic material can be recycled and/or used or sold as an organic biomass fuel to produce heat and/or electricity. The inorganic material can be recycled and/or landfilled. Separating the dry organic material, wet organic materials, and optionally inorganic material maximizes the efficiency of downstream conversion techniques. Removing non-digestible dry organics and inorganic material prior to loading into a digester increases the volume available for microbial cultures and biogas production. Similarly removing the wet organics and inorganic material from the dry organics increases the efficiency of thermal conversion of the dry organic because less energy is consumed in evaporating water and the burnt material produces less ash. In the case where recyclables are recovered from the dry organics, removing wet organics and inorganic materials reduces burden depths in the sorting process, thus allowing the sorting equipment to function properly and more efficiently and reduces wear and tear on the machinery. In addition, the non-recyclable inorganic fraction can be more easily landfilled because the volume of the landfilled material will be smaller and more concentrated. The method can handle large volumes of highly variable mixed waste materials. The methods can efficiently extract recyclables from unsorted mixed waste (e.g. black bin municipal solid waste (MSW)), home-sorted recyclable streams where mis-compliance is high (e.g. blue bin MSW), and other types of MSW such as variable commercial solid waste streams from retail establishments, light manufacturing, warehouses, office buildings, and industrial waste streams. The methods can recover significantly larger percentages of different types of recyclable materials and organic materials for conversion into renewable fuels and energy from variable waste streams as compared to known systems. Unlike traditional refuse derived fuel plants, the methods fractionate and spread the waste material sufficiently to prepare the intermediate streams for efficient conversion. The highly efficient separation system can recover recycled metal products from materials such as electronics and other hard to separate heterogeneous waste materials. The methods overcome the long felt but unmet need to economically recover (i.e. mechanically sort) all or a portion of the valuable recyclables and/or renewables in these hard-to-handle waste streams. The method allows recovering the majority of different types of recyclable and renewable materials present in a mixed solid waste stream. The methods are particularly useful where high value recyclables are present in very low concentrations.
