Boulware Equipment Helps Nissan Canton, Mississippi Eliminate Wood Waste with Turn-Key Recycling System

At Boulware Equipment LLC, we specialize in building and servicing high-performance wood waste recycling and dust collection systems for manufacturing and industrial companies worldwide. Our mission is to help facilities reduce disposal costs, improve operational efficiency, and achieve true landfill avoidance through proven, fully integrated solutions.

One such project was completed for the Nissan manufacturing plant in Canton, MS, where Boulware Equipment installed a complete Cresswood grinder and the Boulware Wood Trash Elimination System to address ongoing challenges with pallet and packaging waste.

The Challenge: Managing Wood Scraps at a High-Volume Manufacturing Plant

As a major automotive manufacturing facility, Nissan in Canton, Mississippi generates a continuous stream of wood scraps and wood trash from pallets, crates, and shipping materials. Disposing of this material through traditional landfill methods was costly, inefficient, and inconsistent with Nissan’s sustainability goals.

The facility needed a reliable system that could process wood waste efficiently, reduce landfill dependency, and convert waste into value without disrupting daily production.

The Solution: Cresswood Grinder and Boulware Wood Trash Elimination System

Boulware Equipment engineered and installed a complete Cresswood grinder system paired with the Boulware Wood Trash Elimination System, creating a fully automated wood recycling process.

The system operates as follows:

• Wood scraps and wood trash are fed directly into the Cresswood grinder.

• The grinder reduces the material while automatically separating metal from the wood, removing nails and fasteners.

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

• The material is hauled off and sold, transforming waste into revenue.

Instead of paying to dispose of wood waste, Nissan Canton now saves money and generates value from its wood scrap stream—achieving measurable landfill avoidance.

100% Turn-Key Engineering, Installation, and Recycling Management

Every system delivered by Boulware Equipment LLC is 100% turn-key. For the Nissan Canton project, Boulware handled the entire process, including:

• Planning and system layout

• Engineering and equipment selection

• Full installation and commissioning

• Integration of conveyors and loadout systems

• Outsourcing, hauling, and selling of processed wood waste

With Boulware managing the recycling process end-to-end, Nissan’s team simply runs production—while the wood waste system quietly creates savings in the background.

Ongoing Service and Maintenance for Maximum Efficiency

At Boulware Equipment, installation is only the beginning. We continue to service and maintain the Cresswood grinder and recycling system at the Nissan plant to ensure long-term reliability and peak performance.

Our ongoing support includes:

• Preventative maintenance

• Grinder inspections and wear-part replacement

• Mechanical and electrical service

• System optimization to maintain full efficiency

This proactive service approach protects Nissan’s investment and ensures uninterrupted operation of the wood waste recycling system.

The Results: Cleaner Operations, Cost Savings, and Sustainability

Today, the Nissan manufacturing plant in Canton, MS benefits from a cleaner facility, reduced waste handling, and a streamlined recycling workflow. What was once an expensive wood trash problem is now a controlled, efficient process that supports both recycling and landfill avoidance.

This project highlights how Boulware Equipment LLC delivers reliable, industrial-grade solutions that convert wood waste challenges into long-term operational advantages.
