ALG's "Mining Ships," as I see it, are the next natural development from taking the waste to the recycling plant. If the recycling plant can go to where the waste is, it can process most of it directly there on-scene and produce more compact and efficient parcels for transport to factories or perhaps refining plants of some sort.
This is, at least, the best I could come up with considering the game mechanics. Role-playing without any support from the game becomes a bit too unsubstantial in the long run, in my opinion, so I do my best to adjust the holes in my paradigm to fit those in the game.
As I said, though, it's not out of the question for ALG to provide transportation as well, especially if the transportation is in some way especially suited for this type of work. ALG are experts in this sort of thing, so if ALG tells DSE they need some form of equipment to fullfil their contract, DSE won't have much reason not to allow it.
