The 48,000-square-foot, $8.5 million plant
is one of the largest enclosed C&D recycling plants in the country.
The company is permitted to accept 1,500 tons of municipal solid waste
and construction and demolition debris per day. |

Inside the
Plant
The conveyor feeds the primary grinder, a CBI Annihilator
carefully surrounded with a concrete blast shield (in the
event of an missed propane tank). Material then moves to an
Action Screener to remove 6 minus.

Very soon the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will implement
a statewide ban on dumping certain types of waste materials into landfills.
The ban, in part, restricts the dumping of full-sized C&D waste
into landfills. These materials must be processed for recycling purposes,
with only a limited amount of downsized material allowed to go into
landfills.
To comply with the new restrictions
and to continue to lead in the business of waste processing, Mike
Camara, President of ABC
Disposal Service, created New Bedford Waste Services in order
to process the material at its facility.
In 2002, Camara contacted Newton, NH-based Continental
Biomass Industries, Inc. (CBI), requesting the equipment manufacturers
assistance in building a waste processing facility for his new business.
Together, Camara and CBI designed and built a system that is not only
efficient, but extremely flexible.
With a versatile system, New Bedford Waste is able
to focus heavily on the markets that are most profitable at any given
time. New Bedford Waste Services frequently analyzes the market conditions,
prices and efficiencies involved in sending the various finished products
to their customers both in and out of state. At the touch of
a button, they are able to switch from producing a wood product to
grading materials.
Along with processing/recycling of construction
and demolition debris, New Bedford Waste Services is also permitted
to transfer municipal solid waste for final disposal at various landfills
and trash to energy plants. The ability to provide these services
to South Eastern Massachusetts communities has benefited the various
disposal companies and residents in the surrounding area. |
