IWS acquires Evergreen Recycling Solutions

Interstate Waste Services Inc. (IWS), Teaneck, New Jersey, has announced its acquisition of Evergreen Recycling Solutions LLC. Evergreen, a Newark, New Jersey-based recycling center, operates both a LEED- (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-) certified material recovery facility (MRF) and a transfer station specializing in construction and demolition (C&D) debris.

Founded in 2007, Evergreen serves northern and central New Jersey through its industrial collection and advanced C&D recycling operations.

With the acquisition of Evergreen, IWS will add the state-of-the-art C&D MRF to its capabilities. The Evergreen MRF processes C&D debris into value-added recyclable commodities, including a wood-based renewable fuel used by energy companies as an alternative to coal. The facility achieves roughly 80 percent to 85 percent recovery of comingled materials.  

“We are excited to join the IWS family,” says John Mango, managing member for Evergreen. “Our enterprises share a technology-driven approach to our recycling facilities, as well as a dedication to sustainability across our operations.  As a part of IWS, our employees will continue to offer prompt, reliable service along with advanced diversion reporting for LEED-certified projects.”

Mike DiBella, CEO of IWS adds, “The Evergreen acquisition gives us the opportunity to expand our C&D operations, add a state-of-the-art C&D processing facility to our network and welcome a smart, experienced group to our team. We are all excited to welcome the Evergreen team to the IWS family.”
