Atlanta, GA – January 19, 2011 – Southern Waste & Recycling, a national provider of commercial waste and recycling management services, announced today that they have contracted by Fieldale Farms Corporation, a large independent poultry producer, to provide exclusive recycling services for their North Georgia offices and processing plants.

The agreement was entered to help Fieldale Farm’s environmental team meet their objectives for a comprehensive recycling program that includes waste from their front offices all the way to the processing plants.

“Southern Waste & Recycling worked closely with our team to perform a thorough site inspection and really get to know our needs,” said Fieldale Farms Sustainability Director Shane Williams. “We had previously not been able to identify a partner who could provide this type of comprehensive service and still meet the strict requirements of our industry.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Southern Waste & Recycling (SW&R) will provide recycling services for five Fieldale Farms facilities including the headquarters in Baldwin, Georgia, administration offices in Cornelia, Georgia, and the processing plants in Cornelia, Gainesville and Murrayville, Georgia. Materials that will be recycled include plastics or poly grade materials, cardboard, mixed office paper and cafeteria materials (such as aluminum cans and plastic bottles) of non hazardous waste.

It was Southern Waste’s flexible approach to providing services and attention to detail that enabled them to meet the strict requirements of waste handling dictated by the FDA and OSHA for the food processing industry.

“Although the logistical requirements of this program were quite extensive, we were pleased to present a program that addresses their requirements on every front,” states Southern Waste President Phil Kitchens.

“The real selling point for us was their ability to come in and turn on the zero cost service with no up-front capital investment required on our part,” continued Williams.
