Garb Oil & Power Corp. completes preliminary due diligence on
Las Vegas project
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Further to our
Shareholder update December 10, 2012;
Garb Oil & Power Corporation (USOTC: GARB) has identified two,
suitable locations to develop an e-Waste treatment center in the
Las Vegas, Nevada Metropolitan
area (MSA). For a number of reasons, Las Vegas is a natural choice for an e-Waste
recycling plant. The Las Vegas,
Nevada MSA is home to over 2,000,000 people with an annual
visitor volume of approximately 40,000,000. As a major
logistic hub, because of its strategic location along the
Interstate 15 Freeway, a Las Vegas
plant would gather input material from Southern California as well as cities located
in Utah. Although Las Vegas
is a city of approximately 2,000,000 residents, its annual waste
deposited in the area landfill is equivalent to a city of over
5,000,000 because of the vast consumption exhibited by the local
and visiting populations. Additionally, Las Vegas has approximately 27,000,000 people
within a 300-mile radius from which to draw source material.
The State of Nevada is keen on
bringing new, nongaming industry to Nevada, and a number of possible incentives
should be garnered due to the employment base and economic impact
the plant will deliver.
Two suitable locations have been identified. Location one
is situated on an approximate seven-acre parcel with one building
encompassing 10,000 square feet with existing rail spurs able to
receive e-Waste material from the greater Los Angeles region. The building will
require expansion to approximately 40,000 to accommodate the first
phase of the e-Waste facility. Location two is approximately
20 acres and is situated approximate to the Harry Reid Technology
Park in the Southwest area of Las
Vegas. Garb will finalize decision on which property within
the month.
Garb President/CEO John Rossi
stated "This has been a combined effort with our Joint Venture
partners and the choice was not easy, as many fine properties were
available."
The Recycling plant will have capacity at maturation to process
42,000 metric tons of material across all e-Waste streams including
large household appliances (LHA's), LCD Monitors and a complete
Plastics processing line. The total build-out of the
Las Vegas e-Waste recycling plant
is estimated to be $34,000,000.
Design, Construction and Equipment installation period is estimated
at 15 months from ground breaking, and full input material to reach
plant capacity is estimated by the 21st month following
commencement.
