Georgia Recycler Changes Fleet to JCB In addition to being The Fruitcake Capital of The World, Claxton, Ga., also is the home of Continental Cable Recycling (CCR), a recycling center and its sister company Custom Waste Rolloff Services, a container roll-off service. The family owned businesses were founded by Forrest Conder, first CCR in 1982, followed by Custom Waste in 2008. Working as one company, CCRCustom Waste rents roll-off containers and swaps them out as needed and the company also handles complete waste and metal recycling needs for industrial customers on a regular basis. Products are separated and processed down for delivery straight to end users without needing another recycler. Plastics are run through an SSI shredder and a granulator on site and are shipped out in a regrind form to an end user. CCR-Custom Waste also works with the Evans County waste transfer station, in which CCR-Custom Waste has the contractual agreement to run the transfer station. At the transfer station, CCR-Custom Waste oversees separating garbage from the wood and metal recyclables. The wood products are processed at the transfer station with the use of a Morbark 1000 tub grinder. The metal, cardboard, plastics and all other recyclables are then transported three miles to the CCR-Custom Waste scrap yard. Roll-off containers from construction and clearing projects come directly to the yard and wood waste can be stockpiled for grinding, because the mobile tub grinder is transported back and forth between the transfer station and the scrap yard. The effectiveness of the day-to-day production of CCR-Custom Waste is completely dependent on the reliability of their machine fleet. At the end of 2011 Conder knew his skid steer loaders were getting to the point that they needed to be replaced. He had never owned a JCB

Then he got a visit from his local Condor had traded in and placed on the JCB salesman, Chris Shea, who dis- new 330. The shear requires a high flow cussed the advantages of the JCB skid hydraulic system, which worked out steer line with him. great as it is standard on the JCB 330. Conder stated that they didn’t have to At that point, Conder said, “We thought that maybe we needed to at least take a look at this machine. We were hesitant, but we called back and we drove over to Savannah to JCB of Georgia and met Chris (Shea), and Tony (Reardon) and took a really good look at what they had to offer. We met the whole team including Doug Ramsey in the service department. We also took a tour of the JCB manufacturing plant and we were quite impressed. “So we decided that we needed to try this out.

My biggest concern in the beginning with the JCB skid steer was do anything but hook it up and go to that one arm (single boom). I had never work. He also said the LaBounty shear operated one. My thoughts centered on matched perfectly with this machine and would it flex, or would it be as strong as also can be used on the JCB 225 skid two, or would it hold up? The lifetime steer loader. Conder said, “Other machines in our warranty on the single arm gave me the fleet that had the LaBounty breaker assurance I needed,” Condor said. Still, he and his team wanted to see for mounted on them, seemed to be off balthemselves how this would work so, ance and not overly stable.
