"A recent tour of the Riverside Recycling Center......highlighted for me how far we have come with recycling....The Riverside facility was once an eyesore, but under CPRC's management and work with the neighborhood, it now offers Portland-area residents a clean, convenient site where they can dispose of waste."

“Our program started when our Co-op members asked us to find a solution for glass waste. PGA is a good product, and we believe that the more people learn about it, the more glass we will be able to divert from landfill into practical use,” says Liz Bedard, executive director of NRRA, located in Chichester, New Hampshire .

 

When Cleaves used 10,000 cubic yards of C&R at a recreational vehicle campground in Old Orchard Beach as base for the roadways and driveways of 88 lots, the roads were solid enough for RVs and cars to use right away.

“When tipping fees, transportation costs and free product exchange are factored in, I estimate we save about $80 per ton allowing CPRC Group to handle our shingles rather than sending them to the Norridgewock landfill,” comments Tim Polky.

Riverside Recycling Facility is managed by CPRC Group of Scarborough, Maine. The City of Portland operates the scale house at Riverside.

Morse Brothers Inc., a family-owned company that manufactures bark mulch, has been bought by M.B. Bark LLC, a division of Scarborough-based CPRC Group.

"We combine innovative conversion technology with a comprehensive marketing program. And that’s why we have such a positive impact on city budgets."

"Recycling is important, but equally important is finding applications for the reuse of materials that traditionally were landfilled. The Portland connector project is an ideal application for reclaimed soil."

- John Adelman, CEO, CPRC Group, Scarborough, ME.

"We saved at least two years on the town’s gravel pit and it didn’t cost us a penny. The material (Reclaim) was free and so was the transportation (provided by CPRC Group) to deliver it to the town’s pit."

"During construction of the John Mitchell Science & Technology Center at USM, CPRC Group helped us save on waste removal while meeting the stringent recycling requirements of a LEED-certified building."
