Michigan Scrap Recycling Firm to Start New Scrap Yard

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): A leading Midwest scrap recycler announced capacity addition and expansion plans. Holland, Michigan-based Padnos decided to open a new scrap yard that will feature an auto shredding plant in Howell. The company has reportedly filed for necessary permits for the new yard facility.

According to media release, the company has already applied for an air permit in connection with the installation of the shredder unit. It must be noted that the company had purchased the Howell site from the former Regal Recycling Inc. last year, raising the company’s total number of locations to nineteen.
