Over the past year ortwo, the number of Bio-mass projects has ex-ploded. Pellets, Ethanol,Waste to Power Genera-tion, you name it. Invest-ment money has pouredinto these projects fromall kinds of avenues thathave no idea what Bio-mass is. All they know isthat this is a green proj-ect and the government isunderwriting loans,granting money and it’s a
“Can’t Lose” proposition.Same was said aboutSolyndra and a half a bil-lion dollars later we arewondering what we cando with that property.
As a Waste and Bio-mass Industry we need touse our industry associa-tions to get involved inthese projects on thefront end and weed outthe ones that are unreal-istic and promote the vi-able ones so the govern-
mental funding and in-vestment monies contin-ue to flow into our indus-tries. We have alreadyseen a large Georgia proj-ect call it quits becausethe technology didn’twork large scale.
Most of these projectsthat are being proposed oralready built are standardwood residue uses like fueland pellets, which with thenumbers being built Iwould start to get con-
cerned about the volumesof wood available in somemarkets because it seemsthey keep building on topof one and another. Withthe building decrease andassociated landclearingdown, there is littleresidue available, so For-est Management needs toppriority to keep these in-dustries going long term.
Then there are the ven-tures into ethanols andbiodiesel that are the type
that worked in a labora-tory so let’s see if it workslarge scale and get thegovernment to pay for it.These are the projectsthat make me say WHAT?Let’s plant WHAT in themiddle of Florida? Youpromise it won’t spread?Why is there a concern?Not pointing fingers, justusing as an example, butthese are the types of un-proven ventures that cankill future investments.
I am bringing this issueto light because of myback ended involvementin three separate projectsduring 2011.
• The first, a recyclingand RDF operation spentmillions permitting, build-ing and buying yet neverhired one person with anyoperational industryknowledge nor after start-ing operation did theyeven hire a mechanic.They have not been opera-tionally successful to datedirectly because of thelack of operational experi-ence and maintenance.
• The second was a re-cycling operation that didnot spend as much mon-ey on the front end as thefirst company, yet theydid not hire anyone withany operational experi-ence either. While theirbusiness is thriving andpotential huge, they arebreak even at best be-cause they don’t know “afrom b” and are learningas they go instead of hav-ing an experienced per-son directing common in-dustry practices.
• The last is a ‘waste tofuels’ operation that hasrefused to hire anyonewith industry knowledgeand seem to feel that theycan build a better mouse-trap without having anyindustry knowledgewhatsoever. It is almostcomical watching themtry to progress whenthere are 100 companieswithin 100 miles that cando what they need doneand that can do it better,
faster and more prof-itably. With Governmen-tal dollars on the line onthis one, I am going tokeep my eye on them andtry for the third time tooffer some FREE advice.I’ll keep you informed.
In any business, hiringcompetent knowledgeablepeople is a must, but fornew ventures it is morethan a necessity. That iswhy I am going to find ex-perienced people for posi-tions I know about andoperations that need help.
• If you are in sales oroperations managementof recycling, grinding,shredding, screening op-erations or are a sitemanager, foreman, opera-tor or mechanic and areinterested in other posi-tions all over the country,willing to relocate or not,send an e-mail titled “po-sition wanted” to [email protected] with a resume or just ashort synopsis of your ex-perience and I will keep itin confidence and passalong your information toany and all that are inter-ested. If there is a partic-ular company that you donot want contacted, justlet me know that also.
• If you are a company,startup or not, send an e-mail titled “employee want-ed” to [email protected] and I willdo my best to match youwith any contacts I receive.

RONKONKOMA, NY —Recently, two young mendied in a tragic accidentat Community Recycling& Resource RecoveryInc.’s composting facilitynear Bakersfield,CA. U.S. CompostingCouncil (USCC) PresidentFrank Franciosi stated,“We are deeply saddenedby this event, and theUSCC is working with ourmembership to insurethat incidents of the isnature are prevented inthe future. I know I speakfor all of us in the com-posting industry in ex-tending our sincere con-dolences to the families.”
“Safety must always bea priority in compostmanufacturing,” saidFranciosi, “and the USCCis committed to learningas much as possibleabout the conditions thatled to these events sothat similar occurrencescan be prevented in thefuture. The industry hasan exemplary safetyrecord and should beheld as a good exampleproviding safe and envi-ronmentally beneficialservices for communitiesacross the country.”
Nonetheless, a tragicaccident has occurred.An investigation is un-der way, led by OSHAand other officials andgovernment entities tounderstand the cause ofthis accident. The USCCis prepared to assist inany way.
The USCC providestraining on worker safetyevery year at its annualconference by nationallyrecognized experts andsafety training is part ofour Compost OperationsTraining Course. TheCouncil also has a freePractical Safety Manualfor the Composting andMulching Industry avail-able at: http://compost-ingcounc i l . o r g/ fac t -sheets-and-free-reports.
“Safety is of primaryconcern to us,” statedMichael Virga the execu-tive director of the USCC,“we are committed to the
safety of our members’employees and the wel-fare of the communitiesin which they operate.”
Organic materials of alltypes are increasinglycollected for compostingso that valuable nutrientsand organic matter canbe returned to replenish
the soil. Healthy soil, car-bon and nutrient recy-cling, and the efficientuse of bioenergy, are corefeatures of sustainabilityand the compost manu-facturing industry is atthe heart of these efforts.
Composting recyclesorganic materials, pro-
ducing soil amendments,natural fertilizers andmulches, leading to rich-er soils and reduced pol-lution. This avoids thenegative environmentaland economic conse-quences associated withadding this material tolandfills. “Unfortunate-
ly,” stated Virga, “somein the municipal solidwaste industry have tak-en this tragic event inCalifornia and used it asa means to self promotetheir interests by arguingin favor of sending moreorganics to landfills.”
Established in 1990,
the USCC is a profession-al trade association dedi-cated to the development,expansion and promotionof the composting indus-try in the United States.For more information goto www.compostingcoun-cil.org.

When Joe Logan and his wife Michelle decided tobegin doing custom concrete and asphalt crushing inthe greater Richmond, VA area, they were taking theirstep of entrepreneurial faith based on Joe’s years ofexperience heavy equipment sales. It was not a deci-sion made on a whim or one made in haste. They wereembarking on a new business plan that followed oneof the oldest secrets to success in the world of busi-ness and finance: “Find a need, and fill it!”
“That is what we decided to do,” said Joe Logan,during a recent interview with Waste HandlingEquipment News. “Even though the economy was notin the best of shape, we decided that it was time to gointo business for ourselves,” he said. “That was inearly 2010. Since then, the company has continued togrow and we are excited to say that we are consider-ing expanding our business in 2012.”
Joe recalled how he grew up in the heavy equipmentindustry working with his grandfather, who started anequipment dealership in Maryland in the late 1930s.“I grew up working at that dealership,” he said. “Fromthe time I was about 16, I worked in the shop duringthe summer and over holiday breaks from school.After I graduated from college, I went to work for thedealership full time as a sales representative. Whenthe opportunity presented itself to move to theRichmond, VA area for that dealership, Michelle and Imade the move and I became the area representativefor the business here in the Richmond/Tidewaterarea. That was six years ago.”
It was during this time that Joe began to see thatthere was a need for custom concrete and asphaltcrushing that was going unmet in his marketing area.He found that there was an absence of any quarry
operations east of Richmond, which made the cost ofaggregates for building projects increasingly expensivebecause of transportation costs. More importantly, hecould see that there was an opportunity for a locallybased business to provide basic crushing and screen-ing of recycled concrete aggregate as well as recycledasphalt paving material (RAP). At the time, customershad to rely on companies that were as far as 500 milesaway.
Joe felt that he could provide a much needed serv-ice, offering customers the confidence that they gainfrom dealing someone on a face to face basis. “It hasbeen my experience that customers prefer to talk tosomeone in person. Our customers know they can callus if an issue arises, and within an hour or two, amember of our management team will be there toaddress it. That was a guiding principle when startingthe business, and strong relationships with ourcustomers are what have helped build our company.”
Joe determined that with the right equipment andmarketing plan, he could meet local contractorscrushing needs, on site. While most crushing contrac-tors focused on doing the crushing of large stockpilesof material at central locations, there were none whofocused on doing the work at the actual site or at roadprojects. Joe felt that he could process material atthese job sites, while at the same time, he would besaving them the cost of having their C&D concreteand asphalt material hauled away, crushed andreturned to the jobsite as sub-base material. He coulddo the work right there and save his customers timeand money all in one process.
“That was when Michelle and I began LoganAggregate Recycling, Inc.,” he said. “We bought a
small portable crusher and a small portable screen.Michelle did the office work and I ran the equipment.Before long, we not only needed more help with themanagement of the company, but we needed larger,more powerful equipment to get the work done quick-ly and efficiently.”
“We got together with Dave Bleeks ofCommonwealth Equipment, based here in Richmond.He introduced us to the new McCloskey I-44 trackedimpactor and the S-130 screener that we are usingtoday. We also bought the McCloskey 80 foot trackedconveyor with belt scale, to help us move materialmore quickly after it is crushed and screened. We pur-chased the first I-44 in North America!” he added.
Not long after that, the Logans found that theyneeded to increase the size of their workforce as well.“Through mutual friends, Brian Beckstoffer heardthat we were expanding and inquired about managingthe operational side of the business for us,” saidLogan. “He knew that I was the one who was makingthe sales contacts and bidding the jobs, and he hadexperience in another industry, managing large jobswhere construction workers were busy doing variousaspects of building projects. We agreed that he couldlearn the important points of contract crushing whilehe was overseeing the H.R. and taking care of the dayto day operations. He also would serve as project man-ager in my absence while I was out bidding on newjobs. Brian has done a fantastic job for us since wehired him in mid-2011.”
Crushing at Lee’s PitBrian agreed. “I’ve enjoyed coming aboard and over-
seeing jobs like this one,” he said as we met at acrushing job at one of the area’s leading constructionand paving company’s former sand and gravel opera-

:Logan from 6tions. It is now a materials storage site nearWilliamsburg, VA. “Joe is up in suburban Washington,DC at a pre-construction meeting for a new projecttoday so I’m here at the Lee’s Pit working with thecrushing crew as they go about the recycling of someof this asphalt material. We plan to work at this forabout a week, while the customer uses the RAP insome of the paving material that they are making forone of their current projects. Once we have filled thatneed, we will move over to this stockpile of concrete,”he said, motioning to a neatly stacked accumulationof concrete debris behind him. “We will have about amonth’s crushing to do, once we begin that part of thejob.”
Brian noted that the crews currently are working intwo shifts, with two equipment operators for eachshift. “We work from six in the morning until nine atnight,” he said. “We overlap the shifts by an hour sothat the two crews can work together to do mainte-nance and repair of the equipment as needed, and tocommunicate between crews so that the job will gomore smoothly. They work very well together. With theMcCloskey equipment that we have on site right now,the only things we have to do is refuel the equipmentand do the scheduled maintenance or change screensas needed and keep going.”
Joe said that the choice of the McCloskey I-44tracked impactor and the S-130 tracked screen sys-tem, has given his company the kind of portability andcrushing capacity that he needs to do the small tomedium sized jobs at which his company excels.
“We have little in the way of lost time when we relo-
cate the equipment. This is the most powerful crush-er and screen system that we can use without specialtransportation permits,” he said. “We can call one ofour custom haulers, have the equipment loaded,moved to another job site and set up and ready tocrush by the follow day’s afternoon. More important-ly, we do not have to wait for permits to move theequipment. Since we specialize in smaller crushingprojects, this equipment gives us the advantage thatwe need to do this kind of work.”
“We do the smaller jobs for a flat rate, but the larg-er projects, those over about 5,000 tons, are contract-ed on a tonnage rate.”
Brian said that he finds the mobility of the trackedequipment extremely helpful because they can makeshort moves like the one planned for this job site in afew minutes, without the need for trucks to haul theequipment from one place to another.
“I also like the personal satisfaction of being able tosatisfy a customer by being able to get in, do theircrushing and then get out quickly so that they can dotheir work,” he said. “That is especially helpful at thesite prep jobs where we go in and crush the concrete,sometimes in a confined space. We crush what theyhave removed from the existing structure, roadway orrunway, and then they reuse it as fill material for thesite prep of the new project. On a good day, we cancrush and screen up to 200 tons per hour.” For moreinformation about Logan Aggregate Recycling, Inc.,visit their website atwww.loganaggregaterecycling.com or by calling themat 804-363-8870.
by Jon M. CaseyJoe Logan, president of Logan
Aggregate Recycling, Inc. emphasizesthat the kind of work that his companydoes is built on relationships, both withcustomers and suppliers alike. Sowhen it was time to upgrade his crush-ing and screening equipment, he calledupon McCloskey Equipment’s Rich-mond, VA dealership, Common-wealthEquipment Screening and CrushingSystems. He knew that their represen-tative, David Bleeks, would help himselect the right equipment for the workthat Logan was looking to do.
“With our business designed to servecustomers in Virginia, Maryland andparts of North Carolina, we found thatthe McCloskey line of equipment wasideal for our needs,” recalled Joe. “Afterwe had started our business in 2010,the local McCloskey/CommonwealthEquipment representative, DavidBleeks, called upon us regularly tomake sure that we were able to meetour customer’s needs in ways that wereprofitable and efficient,” he said. “Wehad purchased a smaller McCloskeyS80 screener to go with the other brand
of crusher and screen system that westarted out with. After working withthat equipment for the better part of ayear, we found that the equipment wasnot able to keep up with our productionneeds. So when it was time to get larg-er, more powerful equipment, we wentwith McCloskey and CommonwealthEquipment.”
“It was an easy decision to make,” hesaid. “The equipment is very portable,yet powerful. More importantly,Commonwealth Equipment has two fulltime service reps stationed inRichmond, so they are available if andwhen we might need them. Since Daveis also located in Richmond, it providesa perfect support team for us.”
Joe said that the choice of theMcCloskey I-44 tracked crusher and S-130 screen system, gives LoganAggregate Recycling, Inc. the crushingand screening capacity that they needto do customer’s jobs quickly and effi-ciently. “We were able to crush far morethan we projected in 2011. We do a lotof work for a major construction andpaving company in our region, and wedo other smaller jobs that contractors
once did on their own by renting equip-ment or hiring in custom crushing con-tractors from outside our area. Thosecontract crushers were expensive andoften required higher fees just to comein and set up to do the work. With ourextremely portable, mobile equipment,we can get in, set up and perform thework efficiently. That makes our cus-tomers very happy.”
“Having the ability to crush, screenand stockpile material the way we do, isreassuring to our customers,” said Joe.“With the 80 foot track mounted, con-veyor with belt scales, we can accurate-ly determine how much finished mate-rial we have crushed and screenedwhile at the same time, we can effec-tively stockpile crushed material forour customer’s use. Customers preferour method of stockpiling with the con-veyor versus using a rubber tired loaderbecause loaders can compact the mate-rial or contaminate it with carry-backin the bucket. This compromises prod-uct quality. We have been very pleasedwith the tracked equipment set up wehave from McCloskey. It gives us theadvantages of reliability, portability and
product quality, all of which are crucialfor our success.”
Dave Bleeks commented that heenjoys working with Logan AggregateRecycling because they have refined theway they approach a concrete or recy-cling job and they make very efficientuse of their crushing and screeningequipment. “The I-44 Tracked Impactoris a very powerful crusher and is able todo a lot of work in a day,” he said.“Logan’s crews are able to use thisequipment to its fullest potential andtheir customers are very happy withhow efficient they are. It gives us a lotof satisfaction to see our systems beingused in this way.”

NEW YORK — BalcanEngineering Ltd.’s versa-tile waste lamp recyclingsystem is now availablein the United States. Theefficient and environmen-tally friendly systemcrushes whole lamps andgas filled bulbs, as well asdebris from brokenlamps, then safely sepa-rates the components,and cleanly collects theminto drums.
There is no need formanual sorting, as Bal-can’s system can processa variety of bulbs togeth-er — including compactfluorescent lamps (CFLs)and energy saving bulbs,along with plastic sleevedfluorescent tubes. Thismethod results in a sepa-rated assortment of glass,mercury, and a mixtureof plastic and metal ma-terials. Alternatively,
when only one type ofbulb is processed, thenall components will beseparated. For example,fluorescent tubes aresorted independently intoglass, aluminum andphosper powder contain-ing mercury.
As most lamps containmercury, the machineuses negative pressureoperation to separate itout and ensure the phos-
phor dust and vapor arecorrectly handled for dis-posal. This not only al-lows the other partsglass, metals and plas-tics to be recycled forfurther use, but also di-minishes the negativeimpact that mercury hason the environment andhuman health.
Due to Balcan’s uniquedesign, the system onlyuses 10-20 kilowatts of
energy, compared withup to 50 kw by similarmachinery, which helpsreduce the carbon foot-print. Balcan has also re-placed its longest in-clined conveyor with avertical vibrating spiralelevator that takes upless horizontal space, sothe overall size of the sys-tem is more compact. Anadditional benefit ofthese spiral elevators isthat they are made ofsteel, which will not onlyovercome the traditionalwear and tear of conven-tional fabric-belted con-veyors, but will also con-vey materials up the spi-ral in the direction of the
vibration, so that the ag-gressive nature of theglass debris should takemany more years to wearthe metal away.
“The economic and en-vironmental merit of ourdesign has aroused con-siderable interest inter-nationally, particularly incountries where wastehas to be collected overlarge areas,” said JohnRinfret, inventor andmanaging director of Bal-can Engineering.
With one model alreadyin use in Massachusettsand five more to be in-stalled in various states
U.K. Environmental Solutions company brings versatile waste lamp recycling system to the U.S.
John Rinfret, inventor and managing director.
An additional benefit of these spiral elevators is thatthey are made of steel, which will not only overcome thetraditional wear and tear of conventional fabric beltedconveyors, but will also convey materials up the spiralin the direction of the vibration, so that the aggressivenature of the glass debris should take many more yearsto wear the metal away.

HOUSTON — Cherry,the Houston based recy-cling and demolition com-pany, is making it easierfor Galveston Countybusinesses to recycle de-construction waste. Cher-ry has just opened itsfourth recycling center —the newest of which is lo-cated in Hitchcock, Texas.
The new 14 acre Hitch-cock Recycling Center, lo-cated at 5402 Highway 6,accepts concrete, asphaltand residential composi-tion asphalt shingles forrecycling. Cherry’s Hitch-cock Recycling Center
also pays for concrete.Cherry has applied to
the Texas Commission onEnvironmental Quality(TCEQ) for a permit to ac-cept and recycle usedtires at the Hitchcock Re-cycling Center. Until thepermit is approved, Cher-ry accepts and recyclestires only at its 616 Alme-da Rd. Recycling Centerin Houston.
By adding the newHitchcock Recycling Cen-ter, Cherry is well posi-tioned to serve customersin all quadrants of Hous-ton and those south of
Nasa Road 1 to Galve-ston. Cherry’s otherHouston area recyclingcenters are located at6019 Crawford Rd. and4601 Holmes Rd.
Hitchcock is Cherry’s
second largest recyclingfacility and can produce600 tons of TexDotFlex/Base concrete, 400tons of 3 x 5-inch con-crete and 1,000 tons of1-1/2-inch asphalt dai-
ly. With the addition ofHitchcock, the combineddaily production ofCherry’s recycling cen-ters is 5,000 tons of Tex-Dot Flex/Base, 1,500tons of 3 x 5-inch con-
crete and 5,000 tons of1-1/2-inch asphalt.
With more Cherry recy-cling centers strategicallylocated throughout this
by the end of the year,three models of Balcan’swaste lamp recycling sys-tem are available in theUnited States:
• MP4000 —the idealunit for processing pre-crushed lamps andsmaller CFL bulbs;
• MP6000 —the “work-horse” with a hopper thataccepts pre-crushed de-bris that it feeds directlyinto the recycling systemand a lamp crushermounted on its side thatdischarges the crusheddebris directly into thehopper. Because lampscan be loaded in from twopositions, it has doublethe capacity of theMP4000; and
• MP8000 — with thecapacity to process5,000 fluorescent tubesper hour, the largest of
the systems has a con-veyor system for loadingwhole bulbs and debrisfrom broken lamps intothe crusher.
All models feature theversatility of the Balcandesign, particularly easeof loading and clean qual-ity of glass cullet. In 2006the company won theQueen’s Award for Enter-prise — the UK’s highestaccolade for businesssuccess — for its innova-tive design and efficient,economical and environ-mental processing. Formore information, visitw w w . c f l -lamprecycling.com.
For more informationabout Balcan Engineer-ing Ltd., contact JohnRinfret, inventor andmanaging director on 44-0-1507-528-500.
The efficient and environmentally friendly systemcrushes whole lamps and gas filled bulbs, as well as de-bris from broken lamps, then safely separates the com-ponents, and cleanly collects them into drums.

Texas area, customerssave time and transporta-tion costs because decon-struction waste doesn’thave to be trucked to oth-er, remote recycling cen-
ters or landfills.“Recycling in Hitchcock
helps us better serve ourcustomers by bringing arecycling center closer tothem,” says Leonard
Cherry, president ofCherry. “Overall, recy-cling preserves the natu-ral environment by re-ducing the amount ofconcrete, asphalt, resi-
dential composition as-phalt shingles and tiresthat are dumped in land-fills. Then, when contrac-tors use recycled materi-als in new construction,
this reduces the amountof virgin materials thatmust be mined.”
Hitchcock Mayor An-thony Matranga adds,“This is a great match forthe City of Hitchcock. Wewant to encourage busi-nesses to make theirhome in our city. We wantCherry to succeed be-cause it will help boostour economy.”
Cherry is a recyclingand demolition companybased in Houston, Texas.Founded in 1952, Cherryspecializes in the removalof all types of structures— from highways andbridges, industrial plantsand commercial build-ings to residencesthrough demolition andother deconstruction
techniques. In addition, itis one of the largest recy-clers in Texas and GulfCoast. Recycling morethan a million tons ofconcrete and asphalt andthousands of tons of steelevery year, Cherry alsorecycles residential com-position asphalt shingles.Recycled concrete andasphalt is returned pri-marily in road and high-way projects while re-claimed steel ends up inthousands of new metalproducts. Cherry alsomixes stabilized materi-als for use in everythingfrom parking lots and un-derground utilities topipeline support andstorm sewers. For moreinformation, see www.cherrycompanies.com.

When Streets and Sanitation DepartmentSuperintendent, Ray Tanyer, and PhoenixvilleBorough Public Works Director Brian A. Watsonbegan looking for a way to improve the efficienciesand capacity of the Phoenixville, PA community yardwaste recycling facility, they began working on a 902Municipal Recycling Program Grant from PADEP. Thegrant would help them purchase a new bivi-TEC®portable screening system from AEI of Leola, PA. Theyknew that the use of a screen of this kind wouldimprove their composted mulch quality and at thesame time, would increase their production capacityof recycled material at a significant cost savings tothe community. With this year’s additional stormdamage from spring windstorms and the remnants oftwo autumn hurricanes passing through the area,their timing of the purchase looked to be a stroke of
genius.“We had been looking for some kind of screening
unit for some time,” said Tanyer, during a recent visitto their recycling center. “We had visited several of thearea’s composting facilities to see how they werescreening their material. We compared trommels toscreening units, and we decided upon the bivi-TECportable unit because it is very easy to change thescreens and it is designed to handle wetter materiallike compost, without serious blockage.”
Community Recycling Instead of LandfillPhoenixville is a community of roughly 15,000
located in Chester County, PA, 28 miles northwest ofPhiladelphia that began recycling yard waste aboutsix years ago. “We were storing some of the yardwaste on a site that the borough owns but most of itended up in a landfill where we were paying tipping
fees to dump it,” he said. “We knew that we could doa better job than that.”
“We had a lot of yard waste stockpiled here that wehad collected following storms and over time, so itseemed to be an ideal site to develop as a recyclingcenter for the community,” he said. “Mark Albert, oneof our long time employees, has worked at the sitesince it opened. He oversees the daily operation of theequipment here.”
Tanyer said that early on, they were able to enter
Phoenixville 15
Mark Albert dumps a load of ground yard waste into the borough’s new AEI, bivi-TEC Screener.

Raymond Tanyer, C.R.P. serves as Streets andSanitation Departments' superintendant and Recyclingcoordinator.
Mark Albert checks screened material as it comes off the screener's conveyor. Phoenixville uses the Xtreme VAC,XV8027 Debris Collector to pull unwanted plastic from the ground, screened material when they are not using itto clean curbside gutters and drain openings.

In addition to the morethan 60 contractors who bring material to this site fora tipping fee, another municipality, Charlestown
Township, also contracts to bring their yard waste tothe Phoenixville Recycling Center as well.
Tanyer said that in past years, the facility handledmore than 500 tons of leaves and 75 tons of yardwaste. They also have taken in more than 700 cubicyards of brush from Schuylkill Township. By year’send, the center will receive more than 1,000Christmas trees as well.
Simple design“The operation is pretty simple,” said Tanyer. “We
load our Bandit Beast 2680 with the Case 621D frontend loader. With the remote control for the 2680, theloader operator is able to control the grinder while heloads it.”
“We require that community members put theirleaves and smaller branches and twigs into largebiodegradable paper leaf bags that are available atlocal home supply businesses,” said Tanyer. “In theearly days, residents would put the material intoregular plastic trash bags and our collection crewswere not able to identify which bags were the ones forthe recycling center. We changed to biodegradablepaper bags quickly because one plastic bag goingthrough the grinder turns that run of mulch into abatch of mulch product that is undesirable toeveryone.”
“Before we grind the mulch and compost it, we runthe bagged collections through an Allu SM bucketgrinder, mounted on the loader. It shreds the bags ofleaves as they are, still in the bags. We do that beforewe put that material into the compost pile,” saidTanyer. “The Allu unit works very well for that job.”
“We still get some plastic in the collections, nomatter how hard we try,” he adds. “But we havefound a way to remove most of that plastic once thematerial has gone through the screener.”
He explained that the department recently acquiredan Xtreme VAC 8027 leaf collector that is designed forleaf removal on streets and at sewer drainage collec-tion points. He said that when the unit is not in usefor curbside cleaning, they position it next to the bivi-TEC screener with the suction tube located above thedischarge chute. In this way, the vacuum removesunwanted plastic and other lightweight items thatmake it through the screening process. The unitworks extremely well for this purpose.
Composting the yard waste“We turn the piles four times before they are ready
to go,” he said. “That entire process takes about fourto five months. We watch the internal temperatures
faithfully to make certain that the compost goesthrough the proper heat cycles.”
“We do not accept any food items,” he said. “We arelooking for wood from trees and brush and leaves asa carbon source for our mulch. Local contractorsbring in their waste material and go back out with aload of mulch that they have purchased from us. Wecharge rates that are in line with other wholesalesuppliers in the area. That way, we can help offset thecost of maintaining the equipment and the operationand it’s not a burden on the Borough.”
Tanyer said that he is especially pleased with hisdepartment because they are serve nearly 5000households with only seven employees, four workingtrash and three in recycling, all doing curbsidepickup. He said that the Streets Department has fourtrucks assigned to leaf pickup. “We use two recycletrucks for the yard waste collection routes,” he said.“We have a hard working team that serves ourcommunity with excellence.” For more information onthe Bivi-tec® system, visit their website atwww.aggregatesequipment.com.
Material is stockpiled in windrows where it is allowed to compost over several months before screening. It is turned in regular intervals to improve the composting process.
Mark Albert enjoys being a part of the recyclingprocess because of the amount of material that isdiverted from local landfills.
Yard waste collections like this one that is beingdumped here by Mike O’Brien as the first stage of theborough's composting operation.
