Phoenix estimates that it will receive about 31,200 tons of material from Scottsdale over the next year.
By SEATTLE (Waste 360): In October 2019, the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community Material Recycling Facility in Scottsdale, Ariz., suffered a fire and was expected to be out of commission for at least 18 to 24 months, leaving the city of Scottsdale to find a new facility for its materials.
Now, per an agreement adopted on April 1, the city of Scottsdale will send its recyclables to the city of Phoenix for a year. Scottsdale will pay a $75 processing fee for each ton of recycled material delivered to Phoenix’s two recycling facilities. Phoenix estimates that it will receive about 31,200 tons of material from Scottsdale over the next year.
