Boulware Equipment Helps BMW in Spartanburg, SC Eliminate Pallet Waste and Achieve Landfill Avoidance

At Boulware Equipment LLC, we help industrial and manufacturing companies worldwide find smarter, more sustainable ways to manage their wood waste. By designing and installing turn-key recycling and dust collection systems, we turn costly waste problems into profit opportunities — and one of our most exciting projects was with BMW Manufacturing in Spartanburg, SC.


The Challenge: Pallet Scrap and Disposal Costs

Before partnering with Boulware Equipment, the BMW plant in Spartanburg, SC was facing a growing issue with wood pallet scraps and the cost of disposing of them. The manufacturing process generated a steady stream of wood waste and wood trash that required expensive landfill hauling. Not only did this add unnecessary costs, but it also conflicted with BMW’s commitment to sustainability and landfill avoidance.

BMW needed a system that would eliminate these disposal expenses, improve efficiency, and support their ongoing recycling and environmental initiatives.


The Solution: A Complete Turn-Key Boulware Recycling System

To solve this challenge, Boulware Equipment installed a complete pallet scrap processing grinder system at the Spartanburg facility. The heart of the system is a powerful Cresswood industrial grinder, engineered for continuous-duty performance and reliability.

Here’s how the Boulware system works:

  • The Cresswood grinder grinds up the wood scraps and pallet waste into consistent, manageable material.

  • The system then automatically separates the metal from the wood, ensuring a clean, recyclable product.

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

Once loaded, the material is hauled away and sold, meaning BMW no longer pays to dispose of their wood trash—instead, they now make money from recycling their wood waste.


A 100% Turn-Key Approach

At Boulware Equipment, we take pride in offering 100% turn-key solutions. For BMW, that meant we handled every step of the process — from planning, engineering, and installation to system integration and ongoing support.

We also take care of the outsourcing, logistics, and selling of the processed wood waste. This means that BMW doesn’t have to manage any part of the recycling process. The system runs efficiently, and all BMW has to do is collect the financial and environmental benefits.


The Results: Landfill Avoidance and Long-Term Savings

Since installing the Boulware wood waste recycling system, the BMW Spartanburg plant has dramatically reduced landfill costs and achieved true landfill avoidance. Their facility is cleaner, more efficient, and now contributes even more to BMW’s sustainability goals.

By converting wood pallet scraps into a valuable recycled product, BMW has transformed what was once wood trash into a source of ongoing savings and environmental impact — all thanks to Boulware’s Cresswood grinder and recycling technology.


At Boulware Equipment LLC, we’re proud to support industry leaders like BMW with world-class wood waste recycling systems that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and promote sustainability. Whether your company is in Spartanburg, SC, or anywhere in the world, our turn-key Cresswood grinder systems can help you achieve landfill avoidance and turn your wood waste into profit.
