Recycler Pulls Application in New Jersey

Residential opposition leads company to withdraw C&D transfer station plans.

Published June 20, 2006

 

Red Bank Recycling, Red Bank, N.J., has withdrawn its application to build a transfer station following mounting pressure from public officials and residents, according to a report in the Hub (Red Bank, N.J.).

 

The company had applied to build a transfer station that would have handled about 600 tons of construction and demolition debris per day, according to the report. The application was under consideration by the Monmouth County Solid Waste Advisory Council (SWAC).

 

The company’s attorney says there are currently no plans to seek federal approval for the facility, according to the report.

 

The proposed transfer station met opposition from residents and public officials. In May, the Borough Council denied Red Bank Recycling’s request for a zoning change in addition to approving a resolution officially opposing the plan.
