As the transfer station management business grew throughout the
1990’s another opportunity began to formulate, the collection of
residential solid waste and recyclables. So Second Nature
Recycling was formed as a separate division of Dankelmann &
Associates to provide that service. As this business segment
began to grow and Second Nature was incorporated as a separate stand-alone
corporation in 1998.
The business model for Dankelmann & Associates began to change
around 2000 – 2001. Second Nature Recycling began to
expand their residential solid waste collection and started providing
roll off container services. These services grew rapidly.
While Second Nature was busy collecting solid waste Dankelmann &
Associates began processing it. At the Plattekill Transfer
Station Dankelmann & Associates began a wood waste recycling
operation that grinds clean wood wastes and brush into natural
landscape mulch. Along with that a baling operation for
recovered materials from the solid waste stream was implemented.
Local businesses soon began using the commercial recycling services
of both companies.
In 2005 Second Nature sold the residential collection portion of the
business to focus on the roll off container business and the steadily
growing recycling programs. As with any business change is
necessary to keep on top of new opportunities.
Both companies are confident with their future and the direction they
are headed. New opportunities for growth and enhancement of
existing services are constantly arising and being incorporated into
our business model. There are new programs are being formulated
today for implementation soon.
As our company motto say’s, “Managing Today’s
Resources for Tomorrow!”, is something that we not only live for
each day, it is our compass for the future! |
