Dow angg laga de re. Recycling in New York is a scrappy business. Billions have gone toward building water tunnels, power plants, subways and sewage treatment facilities, but little toward an infrastructure of recycling. In turn, New Yorkers have been slow to separate bottles and cans the way they flip a light switch or swipe a: Recycling remains less an everyday fact of life than a do-good option, like tipping the mail carrier at the holidays. But a will open shortly at the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal in Sunset Park.

The city’s first big, state-of-the-art plant for processing discarded plastic, metals and glass, it promises jobs to nearby residents and, as the cost of exporting garbage out of state rises, some savings for the city. Did I mention that it’s an architectural keeper? No, it doesn’t resemble a giant egret or stegosaurus skeleton, or sport flying titanium panels. And its designer didn’t cost some obscene premium. The facility is understated, well proportioned and well planned — elegant, actually, and not just for a garbage site.

It is an ensemble of modernist boxes squeezing art, and even a little drama, from a relatively meager design budget. Sanitation projects are usually the ultimate NIMBY flash point. This one makes a good case for the social and economic benefits of design — and for old-fashioned industrial waterfront development as an abiding urban virtue. Barges loaded with metals, glass and plastic from the five boroughs will converge on the site, cutting, Sims estimates, about 250,000 miles that sanitation trucks now travel around town, a windfall for city air quality and traffic congestion.

The project started a decade ago. The Sanitation Department was seeking a long-term recycling partner. Sims Municipal Recycling won the job. It proposed to build a plant on an 11-acre decrepit pier, a former police tow pound, at the Marine Terminal.

The facility would handle most of the city’s recyclables, up to 20,000 tons a month, and include an education center that wasn’t just a repurposed closet with an instructional video to torture captive schoolchildren. And instead of letting engineers design the plant, as often happens at an industrial site, Sims hired, a glamorous New York firm known for doing Chelsea art galleries and cultural institutions. This was not an unprecedented move.

The city enlisted Ennead Architects to design the in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Even so, it was something akin to A&E getting Pierre Boulez to compose a soundtrack for “Duck Dynasty.” The idea?

Partly to game the public review process, but also to build a well-designed plant — welcoming to the public, beckoning from the waterfront. Recycling is a high-minded although notoriously low-margin, capital-intensive, volume-based industry, dependent on increasing public participation.

So the plant needed to be a good citizen and neighbor. At the same time, it had to function as an advertisement for itself. Selldorf was, in retrospect, an inspired choice.

The German-born Annabelle Selldorf runs the firm, which stresses crisp lines, elegant volumes and a clean, formal vocabulary in which nothing goes to waste. Devising a site plan, Ms. Selldorf knew that the main, shedlike L-shaped building with all the recycling equipment had to hug the southern edge of the pier, where barges would unload. That meant the northern edge could become a public-friendly zone, with the education and visitors center, trees, bioswales, a grassy entrance and parking for school buses. The center, including offices, a cafeteria, classrooms and a terrace with a killer view over the harbor, became a light-filled, three-story shoe box, parallel with the pier.
