Construction Materials Recycling Association (CMRA)
promotes the safe and economically feasible recycling of
recoverable construction and demolition (C&D) materials. CMRA
held its Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada that co-located with
CONAG/CONEXPO. The latter event alone attracts over 2,000 exhibitors
and 120,000 visitors in the construction arena to Las
Vegas. CMRA’s President Jonathan Hixon presented Frank
Montecalvo with the coveted “C & D Recycling Facility of the
Year” to this year’s sole award recipient, Montecalvo Disposal
Services, Inc (MDS). Frank is the President of MDS, a Material
Recovery Facility/Transfer Station operating at the Bayshore
Recycling Eco-Complex in Keasbey, New Jersey.
Both CMRA’s Hixon and Executive Director, William
Turley, commended Montecalvo’s 52-acre “model recycling
center.“ A state-of-the-art C & D processing system
designed by Frank Montecalvo and built to his specifications by Erin
Systems/Premier Tech has proved to be the crown jewel to the
facility. The process also uses a CBI Grinder and several
Caterpillar Loaders to process a portion of the 1,000 tons per day of
C & D debris allotted to the facility by Middlesex County and NJ
State Department of Environmental Protection. This award
recognizes Montecalvo for his innovation and superiority in the
industry. MDS boasts a 75% recycling and recovery rate that has been
acknowledged by a variety of environmentalists for their efforts.
The Bayshore site is also home to the CMRA’s
Award-winning operation, Bayshore Recycling Corp 2007’s Concrete
& Asphalt Facility of the Year.
MDS operates a fully licensed NJDEP permitted facility
and also offers full-service transportation utilizing a fleet of
tandems, 100 cubic yard walking floor trailers, tri-axles, and 10,
20, 30 & 40 yard roll-off containers with pickup and delivery
services available. The Transfer Station accepts Type 13 (Bulky
Waste), 13C (Construction and Demolition debris) and Type-27 (Dry
Industrial Waste). Utilization of the recycling services offered by
MDS qualifies for LEED points under the United States Green Building
Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program.
