My main input:

Train comes in, dumps its load. That heads to main recyclers which sort into storage and excess is dumped onto quality line. Quality line is up north, next pic.

Line 1 is the next recycling loop I set up early. It was originally overflow for the main one, but then I converted it to quality. The * section is a "just in case" storage line. It holds another chest's worth of whatever of the main recycled materials.

Line 2 is the overflow from line 1 and also the overflow from main storage. There are requesters that only work over 10k of an item. This is also where I can dump custom items.

Line 3 is trash. It's intent is to void things, but I'll take any quality items I get.

Really nice snapshots, I like the labels!

In your initial sort line, how you keep the initial passive provider chests full? Do the inserters emptying it have a size trigger?

90% full, whatever that ends up being. Over 90% and they turn on and dump stuff to the quality line.
