North Augusta, SC Recycling Facility Reopens After Fire in 2021

SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): North Augusta’s Materials Recovery Facility has reopened its doors, after being closed for nearly two years. “We have been working really hard to get to this point,” said North Augusta Mayor Briton Williams. “We had 75% building and equipment damaged,” said Rachelle Moody, the assistant city administrator. “We’ve spent the last year and a half or so rebuilding this facility so that we can process recyclables.”

Along with the new building comes a new way of doing recycling. North Augustans can now separate their trash and recyclables for the first time. “We’re going to be delivering totes to all of our residences, and they’ll separate their recyclables into their totes, separate from their trash and the roll cart,” said Moody.

“We have citizens who want to be very much environmentally responsible. And they’ve been calling for this ability to have clean recyclables and have the bins that we’re using, and we’re giving it to them. So I’m very excited about it,” said Mayor Williams. Both Moody and Williams say despite the fire, recycling has continued in the city. But with the new format, they hope it improves the quality of life for residents.
