oseville-based GLR Recycling
Solutions has opened a second
single-stream recycling processing
center in Huron Township to process com-
modities collected in the curbside programs
of many communities in the region.
This 50,000-square-foot recyclables pro-
cessing facility, at 36543 South Huron Road,

tant to invest in Michigan:' said Sandy

"The recycling facility will process
recyclables from the entire region includ-
ing from Ohio, Indiana Michigan and
Canada."
