ReSource Waste Services (RWS), a construction and demolition material processor with facilities in New Hampshire, Maine, New York and Massachusetts, has expanded its executive team.
Jack Canty has been named president and chief operating officer, assuming the role from co-founder Greg Leahey, who has been named chief strategy officer as well as joining the executive committee that oversees the RWS enterprise. Peter Jerome will fill Canty’s former role as chief financial officer.
“ReSource Waste Services has grown significantly in recent years, and we have many projects that are expected to lead to further growth,” says Larry Richardson, co-founder and CEO of ReEnergy Holdings, which has a significant ownership interest in RWS. “It became clear that we needed to optimize the executive leadership of the company. Jack had already been working with the company as its chief financial officer (CFO), and he has a strong record as an executive in the recycling sector.”
Prior to his work at RWS, Canty served as the COO and CFO of Weitsman Recycling, Owego, New York, and as vice president of finance at Agway Energy Services, Syracuse, New York. He also operated his own consulting practice for three years that focused on identifying and implementing performance improvement opportunities for his clients. He will be based in Boston.
Jerome previously served as the RWS corporate controller and has held several senior finance roles, including CFO and controller at various bioscience companies. He will be based in ReEnergy Holdings’ corporate office in Albany, New York.
Richardson says he is excited for Leahy to focus on the RWS’ growth initiatives. Some of the company’s efforts include:
The RWS facility in Epping, New Hampshire, has completed construction of a soils solidification pad and will offer on-site solidification of sediments, semisolids and industrial and construction spoils. This service will facilitate the placement or disposal of these materials at permitted landfills within and outside the region.
RWS facilities in Roxbury, Massachusetts, and Epping will install new technology to increase their recycling rates.
The RWS facility in Lewiston, Maine, recently completed a significant capital project to incorporate new recycling technology and is seeking Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification from the Recycling Certification Institute (RCI), Sacramento, California. RCI is an independent third party that will evaluate the facility’s recovery records to determine if they are accurate, verifiable and reasonable.
In partnership with Boston-based Charter Environmental Services, RWS has established a transloading facility in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The facility enables transferring containerized soil and waste materials from local trucks to railcars for transport to out-of-region landfills.
Several RWS sites expect to install solar projects to provide some or all the sites’ internal energy demand.
