August 25, 2005 – Peachtree City, GA

Harris Shredders, division of Harris Waste Management Group Inc, announces the sale of their Shredder HS12125 to Midwest Scrap Management, Inc., from St Joseph, MO. Midwest Scrap is owned and operated by Kendrick Burgess, president and Kenneth Burgess, vice president. While growing their facility, they purchased a 53 acre site in Kansas City, MO. Harris’ HS125125 Shredder is expected to be operational at this former GST Steel Mill site in the fall of 2005. “Midwest Scrap began 30 years ago with a desire for dedication to the environment and to the people. We service areas in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska. With this in mind we are very comfortable with Harris’s ability to manage and support this project and we have confidence in Harris’ quality and service” stated Kendrick. The HS 125125 is only one of the new Harris Shredder line of products. Designed to minimize maintenance and increase available production time, the shredder features a low profile design, interlocking housing fabrication for strength, oversized reject door opening outwards to expel unshreddables, massive front and back wall castings designed for impact and long life, with tie rods for additional midsection strength, heavy duty Dual Feed Roll feed system with torque tube and quick release rollers. “This project represents Harris’ commitment to becoming the shredder supplier for the recycling industry. In addition to our extensive line of shears and balers, you can now trust Harris for all your recycling equipment needs,” stated Doug Sebastian, VP of Harris.
