National Recycling Inc. (NRI), a scrap metal recycling firm headquartered in Hugo, Minn., is locating its second scrap yard in Cambridge, Minn. The city of Cambridge is selling the company slightly more than 10 acres of land on which to build the new scrap metal facility.
Rick Mark, the owner of NRI, says the greenfield facility will be designed with the environment in mind and will service industrial, commercial and retail business.
A majority of the nonferrous processing will be conducted indoors, with some ferrous processing taking place outside. The company will not be handling any automobiles, Mark stresses.
The facility will measure roughly 50,000 square feet and will be able to handle up to 21 cars at one time inside the building, Mark says.
The yard will operate from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays.
The site also will host NRI’s Industrial Support Services Inc. business, which will be relocated to the new facility. The NRI affiliate custom fabricates roll-off containers, drop-off boxes and luggers that are tailored to the harsh weather in Minnesota, Mark says.
He adds that the company is targeting the end of 2011 for completion of the new facility, though Mark says an official grand opening will not be held until April 2012.
