Fabric Buildings for Waste
Management, Recycling & Material Handling
Waste and recycling facilities need structures that keep materials and equipment protected while providing clear access for loaders, trucks, and processing operations. Sheltirx™ buildings can be configured around the workflow and space requirements of the facility.
Covered space can support storage, sorting, processing, loading, equipment protection, or a combination of functions, depending on the facility.
Open Space for Vehicles,
Equipment & Waste Handling
Waste facilities often rely on loaders, trucks, containers, conveyors and other equipment that need room to move freely. The building layout must provide adequate clearance for loading, unloading and material handling.
Building width, length, and height can be configured around the equipment and the volume of material handled at the facility. Large access openings can support vehicle entry, while the open interior provides room for equipment and material handling.
For recycling and transfer operations, the building can also provide dedicated areas for receiving, sorting, temporary storage, or equipment staging without unnecessary interior obstructions.
Covered Space for
Changing Facility Needs
Waste volumes, recycling programs, and processing requirements can change over time. Facilities may need additional space during expansion, renovation, or changes in operating capacity.
Sheltirx™ structures can provide temporary or longer-term covered capacity during facility improvements or as an additional building alongside existing infrastructure. Depending on the configuration, structures can also be expanded or relocated when requirements change.
Engineered for Waste
Facility Conditions
Waste and recycling buildings can operate in exposed industrial environments where wind, snow, moisture, and equipment activity all affect the building requirements. Sheltirx™ structures can be engineered around the site and intended use.
Structural design can account for building dimensions, large openings, environmental loads, foundations, anchoring and applicable local building requirements. Engineering drawings and calculations can be provided where required.
Where ventilation, enclosure, or other building systems are required, the final configuration can be developed around the operational and environmental requirements of the facility.
Durable Construction
for Waste Management
Sheltirx™ waste management buildings use hot-dip galvanized steel framing for corrosion resistance and long-term structural performance. The structure provides a durable covered environment for equipment, materials, and waste-handling activities.
The fabric building systems are backed by a 20-year structural guarantee and 10-year fabric guarantee, along with a 5-year spare-parts warranty, subject to the selected configuration and warranty terms.

for Waste Operations
Add protected space for recycling, waste handling, bulk storage, equipment and facility operations with a building configured around your site.
We can develop the appropriate building configuration and project requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Fabric Buildings Used for in Waste Management?
They provide covered space for recycling, transfer stations, material handling, bulk storage, equipment storage, composting, and related waste operations.
Are These Buildings Suitable for Recycling Facilities?
Yes. Covered space can support receiving, sorting, temporary storage, equipment and other recycling facility functions.
Can a Fabric Building Be Used for a Waste Transfer Station?
Yes. The building can provide covered space for waste receiving, handling, loading, storage and supporting equipment, subject to the project configuration.
Are Waste Buildings Suitable for Bulk Material Storage?
Yes. Covered structures can be configured for bulk storage applications according to the material, equipment, access and site requirements.
Can the Structure Provide Space for Waste Equipment?
Yes. Building dimensions and access can be developed around loaders, trucks, machinery, containers and other equipment used at the facility.
Are Waste Management Buildings Suitable for Temporary Use?
Yes. Structures can support temporary capacity during renovations, facility expansion, equipment changes or other project requirements.
