Green Tech Transfer & Recycling has announced the grand opening of its new Material Recovery Facility and Transfer Station.
The MRF opened April 22 to test out the equipment that will be used at the location. The facility cost $3.5 million. The facility is scheduled to be fully operational and open to the public by the second week of May.
In addition to municipal solid waste, Green Tech Transfer & Recycling will accept materials such as concrete, brick, block, wood and other scrap and debris. With the construction completed later this summer of phase two, additional services of document destruction, paper recycling and other services will also be offered along with electronic recycling.
Green Tech also will be breaking ground on a second phase of the project by the end of April. That second phase will be a 20,000-square-foot facility that will be dedicated to processing, baling and shredding of fibrous materials. This phase in the project is expected to be operational by July 4, 2008.
In total, the South Bend operation will cover more than 50 acres.
The Green Tech Park location was formally the Studebaker Plant 8 manufacturing facility. It is an Indiana restored Brownfield site and has been nominated for a Governors Environmental Excellence Award.
Support from St. Joseph County, The City of South Bend, and the Indiana Brownfields Program paved the way for the success of this project.
