“once every quarter, we do a major clean up of our facility and production area as part of a regular maintenance program we have developed. Because the metals we work with are order-driven parts from our clients, there is no “scrap metal” (as in parts) in our facility. Damaged, inadequate parts are always delivered back to our clients. The only metals that we do recycle on a quarterly basis are from strapping and packaging materials used in handling. For those items, we deal with a local scrap metal firm which comes in and retrieves the scrap on a per call basis.”
-Joseph Manzoli, president, Colourfast Custom Coatings Ltd., Concord, Ont.
