Norton and the City entered into a Lease, Construction and Service Agreement dated January 16, 1996, for Norton to design, construct and operate a materials recovery facility on property owned by the City and located at 1800 E. Butler Avenue, Flagstaff, Arizona, in order for the City to divert waste material from its landfill and to provide for the sorting, processing, transportation, and sale of certain recyclable waste. Over the past 25 years, Norton has operated the facility processing collected recyclables for the City of Flagstaff.
On April 25, 2023, Norton closed the facility due to several factors, including staffing issues and a recent fire inside the Facility. As a result, the City has entered into discussions and come to an agreement with Norton to terminate the lease and service agreement effective May 3, 2023.
