Napa, California, City Council on has accepted a $2.4 million bid from the Canadian firm Ledcor Construction Inc., with a branch in the city, to install five metal canopies at the city’s material diversion center, according to an article in the Napa Valley Register.
The canopies will shelter materials from rain and provide more protection against runoff, according to city officials.
The structures will be between 20 to 26 feet high. The recycling facility also will add a 300-foot-long concrete slab for storage of metals, paper, glass and plastic and other recyclables.
Funds for the upgrades will come from a $12.5 million bond sale the council approved last year for upgrades at the plant, which it operates with Napa Recycling and Waste Services.
