Description of facility and application
GreenWay Recycling, LLC has submitted an application seeking to renew its current Metro solid waste facility license to operate a material recovery facility. GreenWay Recycling accepts and processes mixed dry waste to recover and recycle marketable materials. The facility also accepts source-separated materials including yard debris, wood waste, and asphaltic roofing shingles. The facility has been licensed by Metro to perform material recovery since 2007.
The applicant seeks to renew the same authorizations of its current license and perform the same facility activities with the exception of no longer grinding wood during the months of May-September unless an enclosure is built in which to manage the load-out of ground wood. This is to address concerns about wood dust.
According to the city of Portland, the subject property is zoned Heavy Industrial (IH). The proposed use is allowed outright in this zone.
Authorization update: April 15, 2016
