Abstract

The owners of Union Wharf in Portland recently dredged around the wharf, leaving them with enough marine clay to fill 250 dump trucks. The clay was contaminated, limiting their options in disposing of it. Commercial Recycling Systems of Scarborough is recycling the material by using it to form the foundation of an 11,000-square-foot warehouse being built on the wharf. The cost of the recycling project is between $100,00 and $125,000, roughly half what it would have cost to dispose of the material at a landfill or ocean dump site. Details.
