Green Tech Transfer & Recycling

Award winning Green Tech Transfer & Recycling LLC is the area’s most comprehensive transfer station and MRF (material recycling facility). This facility has been opened for operation since April (Earth Day) 2007, and is located at 2500 Green Tech Drive in South Bend Indiana. This green project began with the purchase of this property by Mother Earth, LLC as a Brownfield site with the hopes of turning the old Studebaker Plant 8 property into a green site. This project has been extremely successful utilizing IDEM Indiana Finance Authority grant money as well as EPA grant money also with the help of St. Joseph County and The City of South Bend. Environmental cleanup has occurred and the privately funded construction of the facility is complete and open for operation.

The 33 acre facility now encompasses a green campus involving the recycling of the following materials:

• construction and demolition (C & D) materials, including shingles
• concrete, asphalt, brick and block recycling
• wood recycling including wood pallets
• metals including appliances and cans
• All types of paper recycling including cardboard, paper rolls and all types of office paper recycling
• Plastics
• E-waste recycling
• Sorting, baling and trans-loading of materials for recycling

New businesses for this project include the initiation of business targeted recycling projects and the recycling of wood for fuel.
