Outagamie County Materials Recycling
Description
This 17,000 square foot project was the result of a municipal partnership to provide single-stream recycling for Brown, Outagamie, and Winnebago Counties. The facility can process up to 80,000 tons of materials per year, which are then sold to private industry to be re-manufactured into a wide array of new products.
The facility consists of a pre-engineered metal building to house a tipping and sorting area for the multi-county recycling effort. In order to deliver a clear floor space for sorting material, and to provide architectural interest, the steel structure was placed on the exterior of the wall panels. Also included in the overall 52,000 square foot project scope were new offices, factory, and baler area for the Outagamie County Department of Solid Waste. Immel Construction self-performed the carpentry and concrete on the project.
