Tomra Pacific to Open New Recycling Center on Bayshore
Jul 14, 2009
TOMRA Pacific Inc., a unit of Tomra of North America, a leading provider of advanced recycling solutions, will open a new, user-friendly TOMRA Recycling Center in the City’s Bayshore Corridor. The recycling center, scheduled to open July 18, will serve the City’s largely unmet demand for consumer recycling facilities for the redemption of plastic, glass and aluminum CRV beverage containers. “Citywide, San Francisco has only 15 locations where consumers can recycle their beverage containers, down from 35 locations just three years ago. For a city with a population of over 800,000, there is large unmet demand for facilities,” said Frank Canelo, TOMRA Pacific’s Operations Manager for the Bay Area.
