Recycling Today: Utah MSW MRF opens
Wasatch Integrated Waste Management District (WIWMD), Layton, Utah, has upgraded its municipal solid waste (MSW) material recovery facility (MRF) in Layton with help from San Diego-based CP Group. The facility serves Davis and Morgan Counties.
The opening of the new facility marks three years of planning, engineering and construction by Wasatch, according to a news release on the project issues by CP Group. The $25 million project is located at the former site of the Davis Energy Recovery Facility, a 420-ton-per-day municipal waste combustor, which was closed after 30 years of operation in May 2017. Construction on the new facility began in October 2019, and commercial operation began in June of this year.
