WOOD WASTE LANDFILL AVOIDANCE

Boulware Equipment Helps BCS Wood in Richmond, Virginia Eliminate Landfill Costs and Turn Waste into Revenue
At Boulware Equipment LLC, our goal has always been to help manufacturers and recyclers worldwide eliminate waste and improve efficiency. We deliver 100% turn-key wood waste recycling systems and dust collection solutions that turn what was once a cost into a profit center.
Our long-term partnership with BCS Wood in Richmond, Virginia (formerly known as American Pallet) is an excellent example of how we help companies achieve landfill avoidance, lower costs, and build a cleaner, more sustainable operation.
The Problem: Rising Wood Trash Costs
American Pallet is a pallet recycler that processes a massive amount of lumber every day. Before partnering with us, they faced a costly problem: wood trash was piling up, and the company was paying significant landfill fees to dispose of wood scraps that could have been recycled.
The leadership at American Pallet knew that this expense was eating into their margins and that a smarter, more efficient recycling solution was necessary.
The Solution: From EF-60 to XR700
Back in 2013, we partnered with American Pallet to install a Cresswood EF-60 grinder to handle their growing wood waste stream. The EF-60 gave them a reliable way to begin processing their wood, but as the company grew, so did the scale of their operations.
Fast forward to 2024: they once again called on Boulware to design a new, more powerful solution. We installed a Cresswood XR700 wood shredder, one of the most robust machines in the industry, along with a Boulware Wood Waste Recycling System to fully automate their process.
Our system uses a heavy-duty grinder to process wood scraps, automatically separates metal from wood, and moves the clean recycled material directly into a waiting truck trailer. Instead of paying landfill fees, BCS Wood now has their material hauled away and sold, generating revenue from what used to be a major expense.
100% Turn-Key Recycling Solution
Like every Boulware project, this installation was a turn-key solution. Our team handled the planning, engineering, and installation of the XR700, the conveying systems, and the fully integrated wood waste recycling process.
We also helped American Pallet setup the ongoing program where they can manage the hauling and selling of the processed wood waste, giving BCS Wood a worry-free solution that keeps their operations running smoothly and profitably.
The Results: Cost Savings and Sustainability
Today, American Pallet’s Richmond facility is running cleaner and more efficiently than ever before. The new Cresswood XR700 grinder paired with the Boulware Recycling System has eliminated their landfill fees and turned their wood trash into a steady source of income.
By choosing Boulware Equipment LLC, American Pallet not only solved a long-standing operational problem but also took a major step toward landfill avoidance and a more sustainable future.
At Boulware Equipment LLC, we’re proud to support recyclers like BCS Wood with reliable grinders, powerful Cresswood shredders, and fully integrated wood waste recycling systems that pay for themselves over time. If your company is in Richmond, Virginia—or anywhere across the country—and you’re tired of paying for landfill disposal of wood scraps, we can design a turn-key solution that puts money back in your pocket.
