In April, GreenMan completed the first phase of the Bee Rite Tire Disposal site cleanup, which approximated 900,000 scrap tires.
Mark Maust, GreenMan's Midwest regional vice president says, the project will likely begin in May on a limited basis, with most of the work occurring from December through March of 2006. “We estimate this cleanup project will generate over $950,000 of new accretive revenue and will be recycled into alternative fuel and value-added material for Iowa industries,” Maust adds.
GreenMan was founded in 1992 and is comprised of six operating locations that collect, process and market scrap more than 30 million scrap tires in whole, shredded or granular form. The company operates tire processing plants in California, Georgia, Iowa, Minnesota, Tennessee and Wisconsin. It also has exclusive agreements to supply whole tires used as alternative fuel to cement kilns located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri and Tennessee.
