OVERVIEW

Harbour was hired as the Design-Builder by Waste Management (WM) to construct two separate buildings: a transfer building that receives waste material to then be transferred to larger disposal haulers, and the ticket office, which receives and weighs the haulers. A boardwalk surrounds the detention area with signage that highlights the site’s sustainable features.
