An apparatus for removing an infilled synthetic turf (t) from a site, comprising: a motorized vehicle; an extractor/collector mounted to a leading end of the motorized vehicle, the extractor/collector further including an input section, an infill removal section, and an infill collector section; wherein the input section is adapted to direct a strip (c) of infilled artificial turf up from a surface of the site and to the infill removal section as the motorized vehicle moves in a first direction, the infill removal section is adapted to invert the strip (c) and to contact the inverted strip (c) as the strip (c) traverses the infill removal section so as to remove the infill (i) therefrom, and the infill collector section is adapted to collect the infill (i) removed from the strip (c), characterized in that: the extractor/collector is removably mounted to the leading end of the vehicle; the infill removal section is further adapted to thereafter redirect the strip (c) toward the leading end of the vehicle and eventually back onto the surface ahead of the vehicle; the motorized vehicle being drivable across the surface in the first direction so as to cause the filled strip (c) to move up from the surface in front of the vehicle and then to thereafter place the strip (c) back onto the surface in front of the vehicle in an unfilled condition after the extracting of infill (i) therefrom, so that the motorized vehicle thereafter being movable over the strip (c) in an unfilled condition. a motorized vehicle; an extractor/collector mounted to a leading end of the motorized vehicle, the extractor/collector further including an input section, an infill removal section, and an infill collector section; wherein the input section is adapted to direct a strip (c) of infilled artificial turf up from a surface of the site and to the infill removal section as the motorized vehicle moves in a first direction, the infill removal section is adapted to invert the strip (c) and to contact the inverted strip (c) as the strip (c) traverses the infill removal section so as to remove the infill (i) therefrom, and the infill collector section is adapted to collect the infill (i) removed from the strip (c), characterized in that: the extractor/collector is removably mounted to the leading end of the vehicle; the infill removal section is further adapted to thereafter redirect the strip (c) toward the leading end of the vehicle and eventually back onto the surface ahead of the vehicle; the motorized vehicle being drivable across the surface in the first direction so as to cause the filled strip (c) to move up from the surface in front of the vehicle and then to thereafter place the strip (c) back onto the surface in front of the vehicle in an unfilled condition after the extracting of infill (i) therefrom, so that the motorized vehicle thereafter being movable over the strip (c) in an unfilled condition. the extractor/collector is removably mounted to the leading end of the vehicle; the infill removal section is further adapted to thereafter redirect the strip (c) toward the leading end of the vehicle and eventually back onto the surface ahead of the vehicle; the motorized vehicle being drivable across the surface in the first direction so as to cause the filled strip (c) to move up from the surface in front of the vehicle and then to thereafter place the strip (c) back onto the surface in front of the vehicle in an unfilled condition after the extracting of infill (i) therefrom, so that the motorized vehicle thereafter being movable over the strip (c) in an unfilled condition.
