Williamsburg Recycling is planning to establish operations in Williamsburg County, investing about $2.5 million and creating up to 30 jobs in the future.
Williamsburg Recycling will manufacture specialized organic compost and fertilizer produced from landfill-bound waste, according to a press release from the S.C. Department of Commerce and the Williamsburg County Development Board.
The press release did not say where in the county Williamsburg Recycling will locate.
The company’s end product will be commercially viable, quality plant food and soil enhancer that offers better efficiencies than chemical fertilizers on the market today, according to the release. The company will also take part in the development of organic growth enhancements for fiber, food and pharmaceutical products.
“Williamsburg Recycling will produce a specialized product that will be beneficial to the Williamsburg County area where agriculture is a vital element of the local economy,” state Secretary of Commerce Joe Taylor said in the release. “The company’s decision to expand its operations in South Carolina is another sign that the state’s business environment is working to encourage growth and job creation. Thanks to the efforts of state and local officials, Williamsburg County will benefit from this investment.”
Williamsburg Recycling will utilize agricultural waste streams paired with landfill waste to create this specialized organic compost. The end product will be utilized in several applications, including, but not limited to, heavy agriculture, commercial, road projects, domestic use and organic farming.
“Once again, this news is evident of how the South Carolina Department of Commerce, our delegation and Williamsburg County government continue to work with companies to locate in Williamsburg County,” state Rep. Ken Kennedy said in the release. “We welcome Williamsburg Recycling to our community and the new jobs that it will bring.”
J.E. Steele Jr., board member of Williamsburg Recycling, said in the release Williamsburg Recycling developers and investors thank the state Department of Commerce, Williamsburg County Development and all local political leaders “who have worked hard for our state and community and continue to dedicate themselves to the economic development of our region.”
