In addition to being The Fruitcake Capital of The World, Claxton, Ga., also is the home of Continental Cable Recycling (CCR), a recycling center and its sister company Custom Waste Rolloff Services, a container roll-off service. The family owned businesses were founded by Forrest Conder, first CCR in 1982, followed by Custom Waste in 2008. Working as one company, CCR- Custom Waste rents roll-off containers and swaps them out as needed and the company also handles complete waste and metal recycling needs for industrial customers on a regular basis. Products are separated and processed down for delivery straight to end users without needing another recycler. Plastics are run through an SSI shredder and a granulator on site and are shipped out in a regrind form to an end user. CCR-Custom Waste also works with the Evans County waste transfer station, in which CCR-Custom Waste has the contractual agreement to run the transfer station. At the transfer station, CCR-Custom Waste oversees separating garbage from the wood and metal recyclables. The wood products are processed at the trans- fer station with the use of a Morbark 1000 tub grinder. The metal, cardboard, plastics and all other recyclables are then transported three miles to the CCR-Custom Waste scrap yard. Roll-off containers from con- struction and clearing projects come directly to the yard and wood waste can be stockpiled for grinding, because the mobile tub grinder is transported back and forth between the transfer station and the scrap yard. The effectiveness of the day-to-day production of CCR-Custom Waste is completely dependent on the reliability of their machine fleet. At the end of 2011 Conder knew his skid steer loaders were getting to the point that they needed to be replaced. He had never owned a JCB product and had always updated his units with the same machine brand for many years. Then he got a visit from his local JCB salesman, Chris Shea, who dis- cussed the advantages of the JCB skid steer line with him. At that point, Conder said, “We thought that maybe we needed to at least take a look at this machine. We were hesitant, but we called back and we drove over to Savannah to JCB of Georgia and met Chris (Shea), and Tony (Reardon) and took a really good look at what they had to offer. We met the whole team including Doug Ramsey in the service department. We also took a tour of the JCB manufacturing plant and we were quite impressed. “So we decided that we needed to try this out. We traded one of our older machines for a new JCB 225 skid steer loader as we needed a new one anyway. My biggest concern in the beginning with the JCB skid steer was that one arm (single boom). I had never operated one. My thoughts centered on would it flex, or would it be as strong as two, or would it hold up? The lifetime warranty on the single arm gave me the assurance I needed,” Condor said. Still, he and his team wanted to see for themselves how this would work so, “after delivery, the first week we had the machine we put it through all kinds of tests, anything imaginable, from picking up the back of our truck tractors to hoist- ing 4,000 pound pallets of batteries. We did everything we could think of to bring it down. But that boom never flexed and never failed,” added Conder. Soon after the success of his compa- ny’s very first JCB purchase, Conder needed to upgrade his other skid steer loader. He figured he had already bought one JCB machine that impressed him, so he bought another, this time a JCB 330 model. The new machine needed to have waste handling tires mounted and a LaBounty 7R shear taken from the iron Condor had traded in and placed on the new 330. The shear requires a high flow hydraulic system, which worked out great as it is standard on the JCB 330. Conder stated that they didn’t have to do anything but hook it up and go to work. He also said the LaBounty shear matched perfectly with this machine and also can be used on the JCB 225 skid steer loader. Conder said, “Other machines in our fleet that had the LaBounty breaker mounted on them, seemed to be off bal- ance and not overly stable. Mounted on either the 330 or 225 the shear and machine stay perfectly balanced. And a big bonus for our operators are the cli- mate- controlled comfortable enclosed cabs with radios — something that our guys weren’t used to.” An OSHA inspection at CCR-Custom Waste that occurred after the company purchased the first JCB skid steer loader also boosted Conder’s confidence about his choice. “When OSHA came in and inspected us, we had just purchased the 225 and the 330 was on order.

GUCA Hosts 2012 Fall Quarterly Meeting, Trade ShowGeorgia Utility Contractors
Association Inc. (GUCA) hosted its2012 Fall Quarterly Meeting andTrade Show on Oct. 25 at the FreightDepot, Atlanta. More than 100 GUCA members
registered to attend this year’s FallQuarterly Meeting and Trade Showwith 17 trade show tables by GUCAassociate members. The day started off with education
seminars that included “WhichCritical Trends are Driving theFuture of the ConstructionIndustry?” by Brian Moore, FMICorporation; “Revenue Recognitionfor Contractors” by Alan Clarke,Smith, Adcock & Co. PC; and,“Protecting Your Profit with ProperProject Documentation” by BenShapiro, John Hinton and FielderMartin, Barker, Donelson, Bearman,Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC.The trade show featured
exhibitors representing a variety ofdifferent types of suppliers and ven-dors in the utility construction indus-try. Those participating in the tradeshow included 3M Corporation;Advanced Drainage Systems;
Bairstow Lifting Products; Bobcatof Atlanta; Ferguson Waterworks;Flint Equipment Company; Georgia811; Georgia Health Plan Trust; GoBuild Georgia; H&H InsuranceServices Inc.; Large & Gilbert PC;Leica Geosystems; LM ScofieldCompany; Southern PolytechnicState University; TindallCorporation; Trench ShoringServices; and Verizon Wireless.Students were on hand to receive

machines, they were extremely impressedwith that and other safety features of themachine. Hey, if OSHA is happy, we’rehappy,” Conder said.On the machines Conder owned before,
which did not have side entry, entering andexiting with the shear mounted proved to bedifficult for the operators. Conder said, “The side entry was the big
thing that drew us to the machine.” CCR-Custom Waste’s JCB buying spree
didn’t stop after two skid steer loaders. Thecompany needed to upgrade its aging exca-vator (another brand of excavator). The skidsteer purchases had worked out so well, thethought process was to stick with the sameproduct line and the same JCB team. So thecompany traded its excavator for a JCBJS160 excavator last summer. For CCR-Custom Waste’s application, the
excavator, was equipped with a FLECOdemo grapple and an interchangeableCanmag scrap magnet, which were removedfrom the old machine and installed by JCBof Georgia prior to delivery. The swap of themagnet was coordinated with the manufac-turer, Canmag, to ensure everything wasworking perfectly. JCB of Georgia even hadtwo of their service representatives attend
the delivery of the machine to make surethe magnet was working as well on the160 as it did on the unit that was traded. The most recent machine purchased
by the company is a new JCB 406 wheelloader equipped with solid landfill tires(which were mounted at the dealershipprior to delivery). Conder said they need-ed a new loader for the transfer station, sohe traded the old wheel loader too. Conder went on to say, “We originally
were running three different manufactur-ers’ products, which meant three differentdealers for parts, service or anything weneeded. We wanted to simplify. So now,we dial one phone number if we needsomething. Which, fortunately, wehaven’t had to dial because we haven’tneeded anything at all. We do our own regu-lar maintenance on the machines and JCB ofGeorgia has sent their service guys to makesure we’re familiar with properly servicingeach of the machines. It’s been good for us.” The company is already making its
machine purchase strategy for next year,which includes the purchase of anotherJS160 excavator and another wheel loader.The plan for the wheel loader is to go twoloader sizes larger than their recently pur-chased 406 model (the JCB 411 model).
“So, in the last 11 months, we’ve takendelivery of four pieces of JCB equipment,because we were impressed with the manu-facturer, the dealer and the very first machinepurchase. Every machine seemed to make usmore productive, so it seemed natural to con-tinue swapping out everything we run to theJCB brand. JCB of Georgia makes trade-inseasy to handle and we have a JCB serviceperson who is close to our location andavails himself 24 hours a day for any needwe may have” explained Conder.
“The biggest thing about the dealerand the manufacturer, they want us towork and they want our machines tobe up and running. Our JCB salesman,Chris (Shea) periodically stops in andlooks at our application, and whatmachine(s) will meet our needs. Likefor the excavator, he recommended theperfect sized machine that will allowus to go from loading the wood grinderto using the magnet for handling steelrather than suggesting a smallermachine that might not do the job or alarger over- powered machine. Hisknowledge of what will suit us best hasbeen very helpful. The wheel loaderwas the smallest size they have, but itwas perfect for our application. Weneeded a grapple and solid tires, Chris
made that happen. So when the machine wasdelivered to us, it was ready to go to work. Ithink just the knowledge of the staff makesthe difference to us and JCB of Georgia arethe easiest folks to talk to, the easiest tounderstand our needs and they don’t try tooversell us,” said Conder. “It’s a good rela-tionship.”
