A material processor for cutting, breaking down and shredding waste construction materials to produce fibrous media for recycling. The material processor includes a drum housing with a top feed opening through which waste materials can pass through and into the drum housing, and a bottom exit opening through which processed waste material can exit. Two vertically oriented, spaced blade columns mounted within the drum housing. Each blade column having vertically spaced planar blades supported in stacked relationship, the individual blades being supported at one end thereof at a predetermined, fixed elevation and position to lie in a horizontal plane. The blade columns being arranged to define a cutting zone between their respective vertical axes where the blades of one blade column overlap the blades of the adjacent blade column. Each blade column being driven by a drive mechanism arranged and engaged to rotate the first and second blade columns about their respective vertical axes in the same rotational direction.
