ALPCO plans 24,000 sq. ft. indoor recycling facility; board approves final site plan
Summary
ALPCO proposed moving outdoor recycling operations into a new 24,000 sq. ft. building in Macedon and requested modest daily intake increases—about 50 tons/day for MSW and 35 tons/day for C&D; the board approved the final site plan with one abstention recorded.
Luann Meyer, Tyler Hickman and Chelsea DePoint presented plans for a 24,000-square-foot indoor recycling facility at 846 Macedon Center Rd, explaining the project would move existing outdoor operations indoors and asking the state for a small increase in daily intake: approximately 50 tons per day of municipal solid waste and about 35 tons per day of construction and demolition debris.
Meyer said the operations would largely mirror current processes but indoors, and applicants plan infrared cameras to monitor loads and reduce fire risk. Board members asked about fire suppression and ladder-truck access; Macedon emergency capability was discussed and staff said the town has resources to respond. The board approved the final site plan with an abstention recorded (Ayes 10, Nays 0, Abstention 1).
Applicants noted future automation is possible but not part of the current proposal; county staff recorded no further county conditions in the minutes.
