The Illinois-based company wanted to use the new facility to incinerate medical waste shipped from various locations in the West and store the resulting ash. Stericycle spokesperson Jennifer Koenig says the company dropped its plans due to business considerations.
Stericycle sent a letter to the city announcing the company's application withdrawal with no further explanation.
