PLESSISVILLE - Machinex is proud to attend today the Grand Opening of the new single-stream material recovery facility (MRF) of the City of Lethbridge, Alberta. This new system, commissioned in mid-April, will allow the City to process the residential recycling materials generated by the residents from the new blue cart program that will be set up during the following month.

Chris Hawn, CEO of Machinex Technologies comments on this project: ʺ It is a pleasure for Machinex to be part of this municipal project. Working in collaboration with the City of Lethbridge and its consultant, we have been successful at achieving a sorting system responding well to the needs of the community. ʺ

Mandi Parker, Project Manager at City of Lethbridge comments on the project, “Working with Machinex has been a delightful experience from the project kick-off to the Commissioning of the equipment. Their customer service has been outstanding. They have assisted us through the process of designing and selecting the equipment that is tailored to our specific needs. We are really ONE team on this project and have worked together like a well-oiled machine. The equipment selected and installed is world class and we are excited to get our single-stream program launched.”
