New location for public buy-back Recycling Center/Free drop-off area
PUBLIC BUY-BACK RECYCLING CENTER/FREE DROP-OFF AREA TO BE RELOCATED
Shoreway Environmental Center Construction Preparation Begins
September 8, 2009 – The public buy-back center and free recycling drop-off area at the Shoreway Recycling and Disposal Center in San Carlos will be moved to another location on site starting September 8, 2009 in preparation for major construction at the facility.
The buy-back center and free recycling drop-off area are currently located behind the Shoreway Recycling Center located at 333 Shoreway Road, and accessed by the public through Gate #1 of the facility. Starting September 8, the buy-back center and free recycling drop-off area will now be located on site next to the Shoreway Transfer Station, 225 Shoreway Road, just up the road. The public will be directed to access the new location through Gate #2. On-site signage and personnel will also assist in directing the public to the new location.
This relocation of the buy-back center/free recycling drop-off is temporary as the South Bayside Waste Management Authority (SBWMA) begins major construction at the facility to transform it into the Shoreway Environmental Center. The buy-back center and free recycling drop-off will be permanently located in front of the new materials recovery facility upon construction completion to provide the public a safe and more convenient access to the area.
Other key features of the future facility include a new state-of-the-art materials recovery facility for sorting single stream (commingled) recyclables from residents and businesses, an expanded transfer station for more recycling and customer convenience, major traffic improvements for customer safety, “Green Building” features and a new environmental education center. Construction is scheduled to begin this October and completed in the spring 2011.
