The process of sandblasting plays a vital role in nearly all fabrications and refurbishments. From the surface preparation of the steel used to create a new vessel. To the removal of the coating or paint for the cleaning of an existing, in-service vessel. But it also presents many challenges. How to do it properly? What kind of abrasive to use? What equipment to use? There are a litany of options and solutions to those questions. But one of the biggest challenges that doesn’t have many solutions is ”What do we do with all of the abrasive that was used?”
Until recently, the answer was always to send them to the landfill. There was no use for them. They can’t be reused.
Not anymore! KanAgg Recycling has a solution. Our recycling program is both

Your calls play a pivotal role in shaping where we’re going next and help us determine the markets with the greatest interest and need.
With our recycling program, you have ultimate choice and flexibility. It is not intended for just one type of abrasive. You’re able to use whatever abrasive best suits your application, operation, or budget. Our pricing does not vary depending on what you’re using. The only limitation to the abrasive is it must be non-metallic. We’re unable to recycle steel shot or steel grit. Below is a list of the abrasives we manage.
- Coal slag
- Copper slag
- Nickel slag
- Garnet
- Starblast
- Silica Sand
Our recycling program is a fully turnkey solution. We will arrange the transportation for you. We won’t try to cram you into a “one size fits all” box. Our program is tailored to match your operation and needs. Because we have large volumes of spent abrasives under management, we’re able to leverage our purchasing power to obtain the lowest possible transportation costs, which allows us to offer the most cost-effective solution to our customers. A few of the transportation methods we utilize can be seen below.
