LANDFILL AVOIDANCE FOR WOOD TRASH
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
Boulware Equipment Helps Chicago Pallets in Chicago, IL Achieve Landfill Avoidance and Profit from Wood Waste
At Boulware Equipment LLC, we specialize in helping manufacturing and industrial companies worldwide take control of their wood waste through innovative recycling and dust collection systems. Our mission is simple — to help businesses eliminate costly landfill fees, improve operational efficiency, and turn waste into revenue.
One of our recent success stories involves Chicago Pallets, a leading pallet recycler based in Chicago, IL. Through the installation of a Cresswood grinder and our Boulware Landfill Avoidance System, we helped transform their wood waste problem into a reliable and profitable recycling solution.
The Challenge: Wood Waste and Disposal Costs
As a busy pallet recycler, Chicago Pallets was dealing with large volumes of wood scraps and wood trash from daily pallet repair and recycling operations. This material was difficult to manage and expensive to haul away, costing the company valuable time, space, and money.
The team at Chicago Pallets needed a sustainable and efficient way to process their wood waste, achieve landfill avoidance, and reduce overhead — all while maintaining a cleaner, more productive work environment.
The Solution: Cresswood Grinder and Boulware Landfill Avoidance System
To meet these goals, Boulware Equipment LLC designed and installed a Cresswood industrial grinder integrated with our Boulware Landfill Avoidance System. This fully automated setup allows Chicago Pallets to process and recycle their wood waste with minimal labor and maximum efficiency.
Here’s how the system works:
-
Wood scraps are fed directly into the Cresswood grinder, eliminating manual handling.
-
The system grinds up the wood waste into consistent, manageable material.
-
Built-in technology automatically separates the metal from the wood, ensuring a clean recycled product.
-
The processed wood waste is then conveyed into a waiting truck trailer to be hauled off and sold.
Instead of paying to dispose of wood trash, Chicago Pallets now earns money from their wood waste. It’s a clean, efficient, and profitable example of true landfill avoidance.
100% Turn-Key Installation and Long-Term Management
At Boulware Equipment, every project is a 100% turn-key solution. For Chicago Pallets, we handled the entire process — from planning and engineering to installation and integration.
Beyond installation, we also manage the outsourcing and selling of the processed wood waste, ensuring that Chicago Pallets can focus on their core business while we take care of logistics. Their system now runs smoothly, efficiently, and profitably — without any additional effort on their part.

Boulware Equipment LLC doesn’t just install systems — we stand behind them. Our service team provides comprehensive maintenance and support to keep every Cresswood grinder and Boulware recycling system performing at peak capacity.
For Chicago Pallets, we continue to perform regular maintenance, inspections, and part replacements, protecting their investment and keeping their wood waste recycling system running strong.
