Bennett Environmental Acquires C&D Operation

Combined operations look to increase handling of PCB contaminated material.

Bennett Environmental Inc. has purchased Material Resource Recovery Inc., located in southeastern Ontario, Canada. The acquired company specializes in the thermal destruction of PCB contaminated construction debris and other contaminated plastics and metals.

In addition MRR thermally treats mercaptan contaminated gas distribution equipment. MRR also has the equipment and required permits to treat contaminated water.

"The services offered by MRR are the perfect complement to our high temperature soil treatment services," said John Bennett, CEO of Bennett Environmental. "This combination of Bennett's existing plant and MRR will ensure complete coverage of the PCB market in Eastern Canada. Most environmental clean-up projects have a combination of contaminated soil, water and debris. We now have a complete range of hazardous remediation services that can be offered through the existing BENNETT sales force.
