A contract to operate a revamped regional recycling facility in San Carlos that serves Menlo Park, Atherton, and several other communities has been awarded to South Bay Recycling, based in Southern California.

South Bay will take over the contract for the Shoreway Recycling and Disposal Center from Allied Waste in 2011. A major overhaul of the recycling center is currently under way, and is expected to be completed in early 2011.

Eight of the 12 member jurisdictions of the regional waste management agency, including Menlo Park, have signed off on the selection, which required a two-thirds vote.

Atherton, the West Bay Sanitary District, San Mateo County, and Burlingame have yet to vote.
