A method, an apparatus, a plant, and business method are provided for recovering, cleaning, and recycling dirty crumb rubber bedding used in barns and stables which house animals such as horses and cows that produce manure. The dirty bedding includes bedding which is contaminated with animal manure and urine produced by the animals, and other waste materials such as straw, dirt, and sand. The method includes the steps of washing the dirty bedding on a pulse washer which washes and separates straw from the bedding, followed by washing on a vibratory washer which loosens and washes away any remaining solid particles clinging to the bedding. Dirty water in from the pulse washer is filtered and reused, while a filtered out a sludge primarily of manure is subsequently packaged for use as fertilizer. The recycling plant includes a pulse washer and vibratory washer fed with stockpiled dirty by an input conveyor. A water filtration device filters the dirty water, and an output conveyor move the cleaned bedding to a stockpile of cleaned bedding. The stockpiled cleaned bedding is packaged for re-use, the sludge of manure is packaged for use as fertilizer, and the other contaminates are filtered out as a sludge that is disposed of.
