Community members and local officials were given another glimpse at Meadowview, a solid waste transfer and recycling facility proposed in Grayslake to replace the Countryside Landfill, during a public hearing earlier this month.

ºÚÁÏÍø Management of Illinois is looking to build a 31,000-square-foot transfer facility and a 3,500-square-foot recycling center just south of the existing landfill, which is expected to close in the next few years. Although capable of handling up to 1,000 tons of waste a day, estimates for the proposed facility’s average tonnage are about 500 tons a day.

Meadowview would accept municipal solid waste, construction and demolition waste, and landscape waste. The recycling center would take household materials like electronics, textiles, shoes, food scraps, mixed paper, cardboard, plastics, metal cans, and glass.
