ROWAN CO., N.C. — PowerHouse Recycling Inc. is expanding in Rowan County, creating 50 new jobs with $5 million of capital investment.

PowerHouse, originally founded in Salisbury in 2008, has invested in a new facility located on Litton Drive and is hiring for various positions including truck drivers, e-commerce testers, e-commerce procurement and warehouse labor.

Officials say pay for these positions range from $12 to $20 per hour and applicants can apply online here.

β€œPowerHouse Recycling Inc. has operated in Rowan County for over a decade and is where most of our 150 employees call home,” said Brett Henderson, PowerHouse Recycling Vice President. β€œThe geographical location has allowed PHR to efficiently service the major cities in North Carolina, as well as our clientele in South Carolina, Virginia, and Kentucky. We are excited for this next phase of growth and are actively hiring an additional fifty employees in 2021 with full-time work, a healthcare plan, a 401k with a company match program, as well as other benefits.”

The company offers a wide range of services from electronics recycling, asset management, data destruction, full-service pick-ups, warehouse solutions, to data center clean outs.

β€œWe now operate multiple facilities in Rowan County, just shy of a quarter million square feet between both addresses, and will continue our capital expenditure within the county as we grow our business and create jobs,” Henderson added.

PowerHouse has already invested $4.5 million into its new facility, with $500,000 of expenditure in machinery still expected.

β€œPowerHouse Recycling has been a valued partner and employer in Rowan for many years and we appreciate their investment in Rowan County and the community,” said Rod Crider, Rowan EDC President. β€œThis expansion not only brings new jobs and economic benefits to Rowan County, but also emphasizes the success and value of eco-friendly businesses that will make the world a better place for future generations.”
