Waste Management Inc. has broken ground on a single-stream materials recovery facility in Surprise, Ariz.

The 65,000-square-foot site will have the capacity to process 150,000 tons of recyclables annually. It will feature advanced recycling technology, including optical scanners, automated sorting, screens and magnets.

The facility will process material collected from residential and commercial recycling programs in the Phoenix metropolitan area and northern Arizona, said Dan Vermeer, area vice president for Waste Management.
