Phoenix Recycling opens new facility

Phoenix Recycling, Durango, Colorado, has opened a new recycling facility. The 15,000-square-foot plant, which is built on 30 acres, is the beginnings of a resource recovery park that will be home to specialty recyclers that will work alongside Phoenix Recycling, says owner Mark Thompson.

The plant will be able to process all residential recycled material from haulers in La Plata, Montezuma and Archuleta counties, therefore eliminating the need to send it outside the area.

The plant will incorporate the company’s construction and demolition (C&D) sorting facility in Three Springs, Colorado.

Construction of the facility was partially funded by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, which provided a $260,000 grant.

The facility includes a custom-made conveyor belt that can sort both residential and construction waste as part of a manual sorting process.

With its new facility Phoenix Recycling has also bid on a two-year contract for the city of Durango’s municipal solid waste.

The city currently collects and sends 22 tons of materials each week to Friedman Recycling in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with which it has a one-year contract.
