Mervis Industries Plans to Open a Recycling Center in Urbana
Mervis Industries received a special use permit from the Urbana City Council to build a recycling center at 3008 North Cunningham Avenue. The location was a former drive-in theater and is a 10-acre site that will include an 18-foot tall, 8,000 square foot metal building with truck dock and scale. Only five of the 10 acres will be used for the facility, the rest will be used for natural screening created by trees, bushes and flowers. Many existing trees will be salvaged and reused.
Open to the public, the new facility will offer residents and businesses a clean, convenient location to bring recyclable materials. The concept will be based on Advantage Recycling in Danville, Illinois. The recycling center will focus on being customer-friendly with easy in/easy out processing. The staff is also available to assist customers as they bring in materials. Material collected will be sorted and shipped off-site to be processed at one of Mervis’ locations in Illinois or Indiana.
Customers can drop off a variety of materials including appliances, automobiles, farm equipment, electronics and lead acid batteries. Also all types of metals including aluminum, brass, copper, scrap iron, and stainless steel will be purchased.
Mervis will continue operations at Marco Recycling in Champaign. Founded in 1930, Mervis Industries is a fourth generation, family-owned business and is one of the 20 largest recyclers in the U.S.
Advantage Recycling Offers Convenient Location

Advantage Recycling, a division of Mervis Industries, opened on Earth Day, April 22, 2008. The facility offers residents a clean, convenient location to bring recyclable materials. The facility, located at the intersection of Henning Road and Route 150 in Danville, Illinois, will accept all types of metals including aluminum, brass, copper, scrap iron, stainless steel, and batteries.

Advantage Recycling is committed to the community and to show their support they are making a monthly donation to a non-profit focused on children and/or education.

Mervis Earns Platinum Supplier Award
Mervis Earns Platinum Supplier Award from Wabash National Corporation
Mervis Industries was recently selected as one of the top suppliers by one of the nation’s premiere truck-trailer manufacturers. Mervis Industries received Wabash National’s platinum award.
The award is given to suppliers that demonstrate essential aspects of supply chain performance in delivery, quality, cost, innovation, and attitude. The award was given at the company’s recent annual supplier conference.
"We are very thankful for all of our suppliers who understand what a relationship
means to both companies, and those that have truly extended themselves to be a part
of the Wabash National family," said Steve Miller, Wabash National’s vice-president
of supply chain management.
Wabash National is a leading truck-trailer manufacturer, based in Lafayette, Indiana.
"In the current down cycle, performance in all aspects becomes the foundation
for survival," adds Todd Gish, leader for supplier development at Wabash National.
"At no other time has it been more important to recognize our supplier’s performance
as it is now."
Mervis Industries is proud of its long-standing partnership with Wabash National
Corporation and other corporate partners.
Mervis Industries Partners with Common Ground, Eastern Illinois FoodBank
Mervis Industries and their subsidiaries Marco Recycling and Advantage Recycling have partnered with the Common Ground Food Co-op and the Eastern Illinois Foodbank.
Beginning in October, 3,000 free reusable shopping bags were given away to Common Ground shoppers. Mervis provided the bags as a means to show the company’s support of recycling and reuse, and to support the Food Co-op in their new location in Lincoln Square Village in Urbana.
Additionally, throughout Common Ground’s grand opening in October, Mervis, Marco
and Advantage challenged the community to Operation CO-Operation: an effort to support
the Foodbank. Mervis matched every dollar donated by Co-op shoppers that week resulting
in a total of $2,713.14 given to Eastern Illinois Foodbank.
