 Niagara Recycling employs more than 50 people, and operates a modern Materials Recovery Facility ( MRF ) consisting of sorting lines, magnetic and eddy current separation systems, and a high density bailing system.
In the summer of 2004, Niagara Recycling moved its facility from St.Catharines to the Region's new recycling facility in Niagara Falls. The new Niagara Recycling, located at 4935 Kent Avenue, is on a former industrial site and includes state-of-the-art sorting and separation equipment. The site accomodates the entire Region's recycling volumes in a 2 stream collection/recovery program.
Niagara Recycling is the processing contractor for the Niagara Region, providing processing services to more than 140,000 households covering 12 municipalities. In addition to being the region's recycling processing facility, Niagara Recycling also provides collection and processing services for over 200 industrial and commercial customers, as well as more than 250 schools within the Niagara Region. In 2004, 37,600 tonnes of aluminum, newspaper, glass, steel cans, plastics, fine paper, magazines and catalogues, aluminum foil, telephone books and corrugated cardboard and boxboard were sold to end markets. |
