An Innovative Recycling/Waste Reduction Grant application on sorting wood debris for recycling has been ranked No. 1 application by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

 

The grant was submitted by the town of Medley, Fla., on behalf of the University of Miami, the University of Florida and Florida Wood Recycling, also of Medley. This 2006-2997 grant follows on the heels of 2004-2005 Florida DEP grant on best management practices for Florida Wood Recycling to sort wood debris for mulch products that was also rated the top grant application.

 

“Facility operators who take the initiative to incorporate the best management practices developed in the production of quality products create consumer demand and product loyalty, while ensuring the longevity of their operations,” according to Harvey Schneider, president of Florida Wood Recycling. “These projects clearly demonstrate the economic and environmental benefits derived through guidance from our scientific community in the use of technological tools for the identification of undesirable recyclables.”
