JLT Recycling Plans $30 Million MRF in Maryland
Van Dyk Recycling Solutions will design a new commercial recycling facility in Upper Marlboro, featuring advanced sorting technology and a planned processing rate of 25 tons per hour.
MONTREAL (RecyclingMonster): JLT Recycling, LLC has selected Van Dyk Recycling Solutions to design and construct a $30 million materials recovery facility (MRF) in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, expanding planned processing capacity for commercial recyclables in the Washington metropolitan region.
The facility will occupy a seven-acre site near Joint Base Andrews, with access to the Capital Beltway, Suitland Parkway and Pennsylvania Avenue. Plans include a 50,000-square-foot processing building, alongside separate maintenance and truck-scale facilities.
The project will support recycling collection operations conducted by Jerome L. Taylor Trucking, Inc.
Advanced Sorting System Designed for 25 Tons per Hour
Van Dyk's processing line is designed to handle commercial single-stream recyclables at rates of up to 25 tons per hour.
The overall facility will have planned receiving capacity of up to 50 tons per hour, allowing room for future operational growth.
The proposed system will incorporate:
- Advanced material screening
- Optical sorting equipment
- Magnetic separation
- Eddy-current separation
- Automated baling technology
The equipment is intended to separate recoverable commodities from incoming mixed recyclables while supporting consistent processing operations.
Construction Expected to Begin in Early 2028
JLT expects the additional local processing capacity to reduce long-distance transportation of collected recyclables and improve recovery of marketable commodities.
Planning, engineering and site-development activities are expected to continue through 2027, with construction anticipated to begin in early 2028.
The project remains in development, and the proposed processing and receiving capacities represent design targets rather than current operating volumes.
