PASSAIC, N.J., April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Atlantic Coast Recycling today announced the grand opening of its recycling processing facility in Passaic, New Jersey. The year-long redevelopment and construction of this industry-leading recycling plant was enabled by a $47 million capital commitment led by B. Riley Financial, Inc.

With its state-of-the-art equipment and technology, the new plant is one of the country's most advanced facilities for both dual and single stream processing of residential and commercial recyclables.

Its exceptional processing speed enables the production of high-quality finished paper, plastic and metal for domestic and international manufacturers and mills while streamlining the recycling process to save municipalities valuable time and resources. All recyclables are stored within the enclosed facility for optimal environmental safety.

Atlantic Coast Recycling is a market leader in residential recyclables processing across northern New Jersey and services commercial businesses throughout the Tri-State metro region. It proudly serves over 60 municipalities within New Jersey's Bergen, Essex, Hudson and Passaic counties – a population of approximately one million people.
