Republic Services Recycling Facility

Originally constructed by CM&B in 2015, this 55,000-SF recycling facility has come full circle. Nearly a decade after delivering what was once the largest custom-designed recycling center north of Boston, CM&B returned to modernize and reimagine the building for Republic Services—transforming it to support next-generation recycling technology and long-term operational performance.
