Welcome to the Recycling Blog!

Welcome to the first comments in our new blog. Grossman Environmental Recycling, Inc. (GER) is our newest company dedicated to all aspects of recycling, minimization of solid waste, consulting for the development of both small and large commercial, industrial and community recycling efforts.

The Grossman family of companies stretches back to 1965, the year we moved forward with the concept of recycling paper and plastic, almost forty years before most of us heard about carbon footprints, sustainability, becoming green or environmentally friendly. Over the years a lot has changed with recycling besides the adoption of the newest buzzwords, especially when we look at the costs of operations, markets for each of these recyclables, and the awareness the public now has. In the next few weeks we will touch on some of these changes and certainly welcome your input and questions.

Let me leave you with something to ponder until we meet again. Over the last few years most of us have heard nothing but recycle for a better world, reduce what goes into our landfills because we only have so much land, save a tree, etc. and so on.

Our markets are in unprecedented times. Any thoughts, suggestions, comments, etc. about recycling now and idfeas for keeping it viable for the stretch? Is “green” for real, or just a catchy market buzzword?
