Recycling company could create 90 local jobs

Council votes to support smelting plant in Kemmerer

Posted 3/20/23

KEMMERER — At Kemmerer City Council meeting on Monday, March 13, Mayor Bill Thek, with the support of the council, signed a letter of recommendation to encourage World Resources Company (WRC) to come to Kemmerer. WRC is considering Kemmerer for one of its recycling facilities.

WRC smelts, recycles and recovers precious and strategic metals. The products produced from the smelting plant will be both from recyclable metals that are hazardous and nonhazardous. Thek and Kemmerer City Administrator Brian Muir have been working with WRC since the summer 2022 to consider Kemmerer as one of its manufacturing and smelting facilities.

If WRC chooses Kemmerer, it is projected to bring 90 high-paying jobs to the community.
