Quincy Recycle opens new recycling facility

Quincy Recycle, headquartered in Quincy, Illinois, has opened a new recycling facility in Marion, Iowa, just outside Cedar Rapids. With the addition of the new plant in Marion, the company now operates six recycling facilities in the Midwest in Alsip and Quincy, Illinois; New Haven, Indiana; West Bend, Wisconsin; and St. Louis.

In addition to providing recycling services for paper and plastics, Quincy Recycle also is involved in food waste recycling services.

Bryan Stokes, owner and president of Quincy Recycle, says, “The Cedar Rapids area was a natural location for us. Our plants in Chicago, St. Louis, Quincy and the Milwaukee area already service manufacturers in surrounding areas. The Cedar Rapids plant now reduces freight costs and expands our capabilities to provide value to manufacturing companies.”

The Marion plant is near several interstates, making it easier for manufacturers in some of the surrounding cities to be efficiently serviced.

The company, along with its subsidiary Quincy Farm Products, have been providing food waste outlets for many food processing and manufacturing plants in Iowa. Through this division the company works with food manufacturers to divert food waste from landfills.

Another Quincy Recycle subsidiary, On-Site Information Destruction (OSID), services the Cedar Rapids area from its locations in Waterloo and Des Moines, Iowa. OSID provides AAA National Association for Information Destruction- (NAID-) certified paper, hard drive and product destruction services.
