PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Pence Road Materials Recycling Facility (Multi Materials Processing Facility) is being constructed near the Hickory Grove Recycling Center on Pence Road. It will be used to process single stream recyclables while the main MRF is being “Retrofitted” with new equipment. This site will not be available for residential drop-off, but rather, it is the large commercial processing facility for much of our curbside recyclables.
Mecklenburg County has contracted with Bulk Handling Systems to supply separation equipment for the components of this automated system. Mecklenburg County solid waste has worked to add a new railroad crossing across the Aberdeen and Western Railway tracks to provide access for this new location. The County is also working to add rail sidings at this location for future needs for transportation of materials.
The site development work has been awarded to Ground Thunder Construction to add pavement and site utilities. This facility is now open & operational.
