Waste Management
for Air Pollution

Reduce CO2, odor, and regulated smog-forming pollutants like NOx, SOx, VOCs, and PM2.5 at the source. Our modular system plugs into existing exhaust streams. When it's full, we swap it out like standard trash pickup.

CO2

Climate Protection

Captured right at the source. Our system converts CO2 into stable mineral solids. No compressed gases or hazardous materials.

Smog

Cleaner Operations

Target smog-forming pollutants and particulates for cleaner operations and easier permitting. Improve air quality in your neighborhood.

Indoor Air Quality

Human Health

Reduce odors and pollution that is hazardous to human health. A scalable system to address harms from wildfires & secondhand smoke.

Meet your pollution reduction goals today...
and tomorrow.

Our modular hardware adapts to meet your specific emission reduction targets. We can scale to meet your current and future emission reduction needs.

Smog

A high-impact solution for diesel generators. Lower maintenance burdens, increased fuel efficiency, & better cold weather performance.

How It Works

A truck dropping off an empty Carbon Dumpster and picking up a full one.
1

Filter

The Carbon Dumpster connects directly to your existing fossil fuel equipment's exhaust. It filters your exhaust and converts pollutants into minerals that are easy to manage.

2

Swap

When the Carbon Dumpster is full, a truck comes with a fresh Dumpster and hauls away the full one.

3

Dispose

Sandbox Carbon safely disposes of the various minerals, ensuring your air pollution never reaches the atmosphere.

Why it works for you

  • Modular & Scalable
  • No hazmat or compressed gases
  • Minimal energy load
  • Plug-and-play with existing equipment
  • Predictable monthly lease and service fees
  • Zero on-site maintenance: we handle filter swaps and material disposal

Commercial Buildings

A plug & play solution to slash emissions from boilers, furnaces, and other natural gas powered appliances.

Mobile & Backup Power

Mobile & behind the meter power without the risk of downtime from complex Tier IV treatment systems.

Schools & Public Infrastructure

Deploy modular air scrubbing during wildfire events or air quality crises. Provide up to 5x better indoor air quality without a major retrofit.
