American Waste and Recycling of Kalkaska just seems to keep expanding, and the latest such expansion is a no-brainer for a waste company; recycling.
The company has built a new $8.5-million recycling facility on Hughes Drive in Traverse City, which will be able to recycle plastics and all sorts of other materials, including food packaging.
Kelly Ignace is the director of marketing and public relations for American Waste and Recycling and says the facility will go through test runs in late June in preparation for opening.
American Waste has been running a recycling program since 2005, and opened a new branch in Kalkaska in 2008. (What did we tell you about the growth?) They employ more than 240 people in their pickup area, which is pretty large, from Cheboygan to Manistee.
Ignace says the new facility will enable American Waste customers to put all their recycling in one container and send it to one place.
