Scope Of Work

Waste Recovery & Transfer Facility

Suttle Road Material Recovery Facilityis a fully licensed dry MRF yard (Material Recovery Facility, pronounced murf) where they accept loads of dry waste, mixed or separated.  InSpec Group designed and constructed a number of improvements and a larger production space in order to install large conveyor-belt machinery for sorting mixed dry waste loads containing mixed waste paper, metals, plastics, wood, construction and demolition wastes, and gypsum wallboard.  Once sorted, the materials are then recycled or reused.  A portion of the facility was designed to receive materials from the City of Portland household compost collection program, and mix them with other green materials before sending them to the composting facility to be converted into rich organic soil.

Recology Oregon Material Recovery required the following additions and improvements. The new facility was open for operation in June 2012.

Construction of two new additions to existing pre-engineered metal building, 27,100 sf
