Complete Recycling and ESM Equipment are working together to provide a solar panel manufacturing and installation company with an economical and efficient way to manage and transport by-products generated from the solar panel installation process in rural areas.

"This is a great example of the sustainable and customized solutions that Complete Recycling provides our clients," said Kevin Flynn, general manager for Complete Recycling. "Our partnership approach to business gives us the ability to expand the services we provide our clients."

The disposal of trash and the handling of recyclable materials for the solar panel industry require extra attention and specialized equipment due to the large quantity of material and rural jobsite locations.

Complete Recycling will manage the entire process, from identifying all recyclables that can be removed from the waste stream to locating the best markets to sell recyclables through their network of recycling consumers. Most importantly, Complete Recycling will ensure that systems are in place to collect 100% of the recyclable materials located on the jobsites.

"Our combined services will protect the environment and save a tremendous amount of money on waste hauling," says Eddie Mendelsohn of ESM Equipment Services. "This is truly a win-win solution for everyone."

ESM Equipment created a mobile recycling center that provides a fully independent system for baling and packaging all recyclable materials for shipment to recycling mills. "This is an excellent partnership," says Mendelsohn. "Complete Recycling serves the solar panel installer in waste reduction, recycling and reuse, and ESM Equipment provides what is needed to perform those services."

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, recycling 10 pounds of corrugated cardboard reduces greenhouse gas emissions by the carbon dioxide equivalent of 40 pounds - the energy equivalent of two gallons of gasoline. After the first stage of the program was completed, the Complete Recycling program reduced carbon dioxide emission by over 1.2 million pounds, which is equivalent to saving over 15,000 gallons of gasoline.

"Recycling saves substantial amounts of energy, which as a result, reduces greenhouse gas emissions," says Flynn.

Complete Recycling specializes in providing sustainable, turnkey recycling solutions to the manufacturing, fabrication, distribution, demolition and construction industries.

Businesses can benefit from the management of all recyclables, such as industrial scrap paper, plastic and metal recycling, through one vendor. Complete Recycling is committed to providing their clients with a transparent recycling program that will divert waste, return profit and benefit the community.
