Planned improvements include re-grading, storm water system, upgraded landscaping.
ELMSFORD N.Y. (Jan. 4, 2011) Brookfield Resource Management, a leading recycling company serving the New York and Chicago metropolitan markets, recently received site-plan approval for planned improvements at its Cortlandt, N.Y., recycling facility.
The approved site work includes significant re-grading for improved traffic flow, the introduction of impervious surfaces for environmentally sound operations, the build-out of a stormwater control system, and improved fencing and landscaping along the property line to alleviate any potential visual impacts. The Montrose plant has been operating as a scrap metal recycling facility since early 2009.
Brookfield Resource Management is committed to developing and operating state-of-the-art recycling facilities, said Tom Malone, president of the recycling company, which is based in Elmsford, N.Y. These approvals allow us to modernize the Montrose site and gives us considerable flexibility with the types of operations we can conduct at this location going forward.
Brookfield has made significant investments at the Cortlandt recycling facility, including the land purchase, cleanup costs and site improvements, Malone said. The nine-acre Cortlandt facility will eventually employ ten people.
Brookfield purchased the Cortlandt location in February 2009 to expand its service area into Putnam County and southern Dutchess County. The facility provides a safe and reliable way for companies and individuals to recycle end-of-life vehicles, appliances, metals and other recyclable materials. Brookfield�s headquarters plant in Elmsford, N.Y., will continue to operate in its current capacity, providing recycling services to Westchester County.
The Montrose facility is located at 2105 Albany Post Road (Route 9A) in Cortlandt�s Hamlet of Montrose.
