MIRA Dissolution Auth. Sells Two Hartford, CT Properties to Growing USA Waste and Recycling for $12M

SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): The MIRA Dissolution Authority recently sold 171 Murphy Road and 211 Murphy Road in Hartford. The buyer was Murphy Road Holdings Inc., owned by Enfield-based USA Waste and Recycling. Frank M. Antonacci is a top executive of USA Waste & Recycling, which has been expanding its presence in recent years.

Antonacci is also a principal in KR Watertown Recycling LLC, which purchased the first MIRA property sold, a 7,300-square-foot Watertown transfer station located on Echo Road, for $2.55 million back in September. The property at 211 Murphy Road includes a 92,616-square-foot industrial building that is fully equipped and permitted as both a single- and dual-stream recycling facility. It includes a weigh station and access rights to a rail spur. It was also the former home of The Trash Museum. The other property at 171 Murphy Road is an adjacent one-story, 19,200-square-foot industrial building.

Of the four properties originally put up for sale in June, just one remains: a 10,280-square-foot building at 217 Sadds Mill Road in Ellington, which is awaiting a decision to subdivide it from the abutting landfill. Rocky Hill-based O,R&L was selected by MIRA to list and broker the sale of all four assets.
