Boulware Equipment Transforms JCB Savannah, Georgia Operations with Turn-Key Wood Waste Recycling System

At Boulware Equipment LLC, we design, build, and maintain high-performance wood waste recycling and dust collection systems for industrial and manufacturing operations around the world. Our goal is simple: eliminate costly wood waste, boost efficiency, and help companies achieve true landfill avoidance while generating new revenue from materials they once paid to dispose of.

One of our most impactful recycling projects was completed for JCB at their advanced assembly facility in Savannah, Georgia, where the company manufactures heavy equipment for construction, agriculture, waste handling, and industrial markets. JCB needed a long-term solution to reduce their massive annual expense associated with disposing of wood pallets, crates, and shipping materials—and we delivered exactly that.

The Challenge: Astronomical Wood Waste Costs at a Major Assembly Plant

As a large-scale manufacturer producing equipment for a global market, JCB Savannah receives thousands of components each year packed in wooden pallets, crates, and transport frames. This creates a constant stream of wood scraps and wood trash, which previously required intensive handling, storage, and expensive landfill disposal.

What was once considered unavoidable waste was costing the company a significant amount of money every year. JCB needed a better solution—one that aligned with their commitment to sustainability, efficiency, and responsible resource management.

The Solution: A Complete Cresswood Grinding System + Boulware Recycle Service

Boulware Equipment installed a powerful Cresswood wood grinder and fully integrated Boulware Wood Waste Recycling System, transforming JCB’s wood waste stream into a profitable asset.

Here’s how the system works:

• Wood pallets and crates are fed directly into the Cresswood grinder, breaking them down efficiently.

• The grinder automatically separates metal from wood, ensuring a clean recycled product.

• The processed wood waste is conveyed directly into a waiting truck trailer for removal.

• Instead of paying for disposal, JCB now gets paid for its processed wood chips.

Through the Boulware recycle service, we handle the outsourcing, hauling, and selling of the recycled wood waste—meaning JCB profits from the material without having to manage any part of the process.

What was once a massive yearly expense has now become a new annual source of revenue.

100% Turn-Key Engineering, Installation, and Support

Every system provided by Boulware Equipment LLC is a 100% turn-key solution. For JCB, we handled the entire project from start to finish, including:

• Concept development and planning
