The announcement was made by managing director of Caribbean Paper Recycling Company Limited, Phillip Corrigan, at a seminar entitled "Greening Through Recycling", which was held at the Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort in the tourist resort town on Wednesday.The seminar was held in conjunction with the Garbage Disposal and Sanitation Systems (GDSS).
If a suitable site is identified by the end of this month and then approved by the authorities, the recycling operation could be up and running as early as April.
"From a practical standpoint, construction time probably takes two-and-a-half to three months," said Corrigan, who based his estimates on the installation of similar systems in Kingston.
He added that Jampro has given his company free zone status which will defray some of the cost of importing the necessary machinery into the island.In addition, Corrigan added, a recent meeting between representatives from his company, GDSS, and Montego Bay's commercial sector had been fruitful.
The Retirement Landfill is being looked at, as a potential site, but said according to Corrigan, that particular location will take a great deal of preparation.
