Precision Recycling of Virginia Leases Space in Chesterfield

Precision Recycling of Virginia leased 15,370 square feet in the Sustainability Park building at 13101 N. Enon Church Road in Chester. The total investment in capital is about $550,000 for machinery and equipment and its installation with another $450,000 in working capital. The proforma project total is approximately $1,000,000. There will be five full time employees and one part-time employee to start. Bill Richardson is President of Precision recycling Industries, LLC.

Currently glass collected in the curbside and drop off recycling programs has been a challenge for Central Virginia Waste Management Authority because there is no recycled glass processor in the central Virginia region nor within a 100 mile radius. The glass collected is hauled away and is used for drainage in landfills.

This new facility will accept glass from material recovery facilities and other glass collection programs. The glass will be mechanically cleaned removing paper, metals, and other contaminants. It will then be crushed and screened to size. Depending on the final market it will either be optically sorted by color preparing it for glass bottle plants.
