Fresno, California-based Caglia Environmental’s Cedar Avenue Recycling and Transfer Station (CARTS) material recovery facility (MRF) has appointed a new division manager with the promotion of Mike Ledieff to the position, effective immediately. The CARTS facility specializes in collecting and sorting trash and recyclables, and it also specializes in construction and demolition (C&D) debris disposal. 

Ledieff most recently served as the company’s business development manager.

Since then, he has also worked as a sales manager at All Valley Environmental, Fresno, and as a general manager at Selma Disposal, Selma, California.

“Mike has a well-rounded background in the solid waste industry,” says Keith Hester, general manager at Caglia Environmental. “He is the perfect choice to lead the technological development of CARTS and its continued growth as the leading materials recovery facility in the Central Valley.”  

“I appreciate the opportunity and confidence afforded me by the Caglia organization,” Ledieff says. “I look forward to the next phase of growth for CARTS, both in technology and in personnel development.” 

Caglia Environmental along with the CARTS MRF are owned by the Caglia family, which has been recycling since 1967. CARTS processes about 3,100 tons per day of trash, recyclables, green waste and food waste from commercial and residential customers in the central San Joaquin Valley, Caglia Environmental reports.
