"This project is especially exciting because our employees are banding together across facilities in North Carolina, working as a team to make meaningful progress toward our sustainability goals in the state. From zero-waste-to-landfill to GHG reductions, they are making sure we continue to lead our industry." Waste Connections provides waste collection, transfer, disposal and recycling services of solid waste, and will increase Smithfield's savings in rebate value of recycled materials through its specialized recycling facility in Clinton, N.C. Waste Connections' investment in the recycling facility will play a major role in assisting Smithfield's Tar Heel, Clinton, Wilson, and Kinston, N.C., locations in reaching their environmental target of eliminating waste to landfills. "We are proud to partner with a company recognized for its industry leadership in sustainability," says David Hall, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Waste Connections.
