Dear Tim;
I am writing in response to your request for information to revise the permit 18-05-TP, at the GDS
Recovery Facility in Conover NC, a division of Republic Services of North Carolina LLC.
I. Attached is a site plan.
II. The Operational plan is as follows:
The Conover Recycling_ facility handles 3800 tons of material each month. 84% o.f this
tonnage is source separated recycling materials processed for re-sale. Only 16% is MSW
headed to the Catawba County laµdfill. This solid waste only comes from two sources:
Overflow from the GDS hauling division located on Section House Road, Hickory NC, and
The City of Conover's residential garb~ge collection, all of which is generated solely in
Catawba County. There is no waste brought into the facility from outside of Catawba
County. This waste is dropped on the tipping-'floor, away from the other materials for
recycling. It is immediately loaded into w'a:Jking floor trailers and transported to the
Catawba County landfill.
The recycling materials come from approximately 20 counties. It is processed and baled as
it comes in. Most material is shipped out the same week it arrives. The longest we store any
material to be recycled is 6 weeks. The only material that originates outside of North
Carolina comes from Clemson University. The material from Clemson are already sorted
and processed at the Clemson MRF. All we do is take bales of various materials and sell
with our processed material. Attached is a report we do each year for the state; it shows
how much material originates from each county and what the breakdown of material is.
The grounds are cleaned everyday, picking up any loose debris, and washing down the
tipping floor once it is cleared. The water from the tipping floor is collected in a special
catch pit that we are contracted with Saftey Kleen to pump every six months. The City of
Conover checks the water run off and catch pit quarterly. We take every measure to insure
proper treatment of the water and material.
