Metro Waste Authority, an independent government agency with 16 member communities based in Des Moines, Iowa, has begun operations at its new Metro Recycling Facility in Grimes, Iowa. The 101,100-square-foot facility will service recycling from the agency’s Curb It! recycling program by sorting and baling recyclables into their respective material types.

By utilizing Helix Steel’s Infinity Slab 100 system, more than a mile of joints were eliminated while also providing increased durability and toughness of the slab. The use of armored joints also decreased the risk for future joint degradation during future wear and abuse of the facility.
