West Palm Beach, FL – Southern Waste Systems officially opened their newest recycling facility in South Florida on October 22, 2014. SWS and Sun Recycling are the largest recycler of Construction and Demolition material in the state with three of their twelve locations located in Palm Beach County. The new 10 acre site on Wallis Road adds an additional 10 employees to the current team of 709 employees. The addition of the facility that is dedicated to the recycling of concrete aggregate compliments the complex just west on Wallis Road dedicated to recycling single stream mixed C&D Material and Yard Waste. The company has two other facilities in the county in West Palm Beach and Lantana.
“The State of Florida goal of 75 percent recycling has played a vital role in bringing awareness to the importance of recycling,” said Charles Gusmano, President/CEO, Southern Waste Systems. “The investment in this facility is testament to our ongoing commitment to the environment, but the real need for the facility is the result of the economy moving in the right direction and citizens who are committed to doing the right thing by recycling”
