C&D recycling facility to open in Utah

Construction has started on a recycling facility in Logan, Utah, a report by the Herald Journal says. The privately owned facility, called Revolve, will be able to process 220 different materials, including construction and demolition debris.

The facility will also process unsorted glass, which is not recyclable by the current contracted recycled facility for the area, Mountain Fiber, Hyrum, Utah. According to the report, other materials the facility can process include baling twine and diaper scraps.

Mountain Fiber is currently under a five year contract with the city of Logan and pays $18 per ton of commingled materials, the report says. The contract ends in June 2020, when Logan will send out a bid for a new contract.

Revolve’s initial plan is to take material from smaller towns in Idaho, Wyoming, Washington, Nebraska and Nevada, which usually do not have recycling facilities and ships its material to California for processing, the report says.

For its C&D debris, the facility plans to burn wood for fuel or use it as mulch and sell crushed concrete and asphalt, the report says. By diverting these materials, the company will add several years of life to the local landfill.

ACP Solutions, Logan, Utah, provides financial backing to Revolve. The facility is expected to open in March 2017 and, according to the report, will be capable of processing 50 tons per hour.
