MCM Breaks Ground on $12.5 Million Recycling Transfer Station

WATERLOO, IND — MCM Management Corp., based in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., held a groundbreaking ceremony recently for a state-of-the-art recycling and transfer services facility in Waterloo, Ind. The company will construct a 40,000 sq. ft. recycle station and a 28,800 sq. ft. metal buyback facility.

MCM will initially hire 20 employees and plans to grow to 55 employees by 2009. Recycled materials will be used as much as possible throughout the construction of this project. This makes the Waterloo site the first recycling transfer station in Indiana and one of the first in the nation to utilize recycled materials in its construction.

MCM expects to recycle approximately 28 percent of the waste delivered to the facility. Recyclable waste includes metals, stone and paper with the remainder to be land filled. “The Waterloo Recycle Transfer Station is an excellent fit with our normal demolition and recycling services,” stated MCM Management Corp. President, David Mardigian.

IWM Consulting Group, Indianapolis, is serving as the site developer and project manager. “We determined that Northeast Indiana offers a great potential for a facility of this type, and Waterloo was the logical place for the operation,” said Mark Matthews, CEO of IWM Consulting Corp.

“The Town of Waterloo is excited about this project since it promotes development near our west side industrial area,” commented DeWayne Nodine, Waterloo town manager. The facility’s area will be annexed by Waterloo, which will provide the essential water and sewer services.
