A fire at the Quality Paper Fibers recycling facility in Santa Clarita this past Friday caused around $400,000 damage to the plant and equipment. Dan Samarin, with Quality, said the damage was mostly limited to recyclables, although there was some damage to a material feeder.
While the fire wiped out some of the supply, the company expects to be back in operation by this coming Friday.
The facility collects and processes various grades of paper and paperboard, as well as bottles, cans and plastics.
