Casella Charlestown MRF
Casella’s Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Charlestown, MA is the largest on the East Coast and one of the largest in the world. The facility currently processes more than 180,000 tons of recyclables annually and is in the process of a complete retrofit, implementing the most current state-of-the-art technologies. The upgrades will result in the company’s ability to process up to 240,000 tons of material and provide best-in-class operations for its customers.
The upgrades represent Casella’s largest investment of this kind to date and come on the heels of more than $30 million in investments in its Resource Solutions operations over the past two years.
