Crown Recycling at The Forefront After Hurricane Sandy

The Crown Recycling Facility in New York serves all of Long Island and the Five Boroughs and is committed to using the most innovative equipment available today.

Calverton, NY, December 12, 2012 – The Crown Recycling Facility in New York serves all of Long Island and the Five Boroughs and is committed to using the most innovative equipment available today. The Rossano family is constantly sourcing new ways to recycle incoming materials that can be reused on job sites and elsewhere in the community. This helps preserve the environment and keep waste out of the landfill.

Since the 1970’s, Crown Recycling has supplied all of New York with disposal removal. With the ability to process 50 tons of waste per hour, Crown Recycling is the leader when it comes to recycling solid waste.

When Hurricane Sandy devastated portions of the Mid-Atlantic, the Caribbean, and the Northeastern United States, Crown Recycling took action. Sandy spanned 1,100 miles with losses estimated at 6.5 billion dollars. More than 253 people lost their lives along the path of Hurricane Sandy in seven countries.

When Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency on October 26, Crown Recycling was ready to begin the massive cleanup. In Long Island, voluntary evacuations were ordered because of the South Shore storm surge.

With the massive flooding of most of the Eastern Seaboard, Crown Recycling has moved an estimated five million cubic yards of debris. Hundreds of people are still without power as the team from Crown Recycling continues the clean-up effort 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Crown will not stop until the giant piles of waste have been cleaned up and moved to their recycling center and landfills in Upper State New York.

Of course with the clean up comes the need to recycle, and thanks to the innovative equipment from Crown Recycling, debris can be recycled and repurposed, and converted to mulch, compost, crushed concrete and other useable materials.

The massive clean up of debris after hurricane Sandy is an overwhelming task, but the team from Crown Recycling has taken it all in stride. In a combined effort with the state of New York, Crown Recycling hopes to move 20,000 cubic yards of debris every day until the clean-up is completed. Workers say that driving through the streets of Long Island, New York and the Five Burroughs is indescribable.

The clean up must move as fast as possible so that communities can begin to rebuild. A delay in cleanup could cause health problems if the waterlogged waste is left to rot. Fortunately, Crown Recycling is still on the job helping with the storm recovery efforts and debris removal.
