The new MRF is a greenfield construction project and will replace an existing District-owned MRF that has outlived its useful life and is not suitable for expansion. The new MRF will be approximately 71,000 square feet and have the capacity to process 70,000 TPY over two shifts; Current operations process 44,000 TPY over one shift. The processing system equipment is from Bulk Handling Systems of Eugene, OR. The single-stream process line will utilize five optical sorters, magnets, an eddy current, pneumatic conveyance for containers, a glass crusher with secondary clean-up process, and two balers. The system is designed to accommodate robotics at a future date. The building will have two inbound bays, a source-separated acceptance bay, and two outbound loading docks.
