About Us
We were established in the World War II era, at a time when goods needed to be used as efficiently and fully as possible. A time when reuse and recycling were not only beneficial but necessary. Charles Cougle began a door-to-door pickup service. He toted a small scale on the back of his personal truck to collect newspapers and corrugated from households. He would then deliver the materials in his own truck to a local mill.
As time passed, the mill would no longer accept such small quantities of material; they required the material to be baled. When faced with either ending his new sprouting business or making the needed adjustments, Charles purchased a baler and began to compact the material and delivered truck loads of bales to the mill. He used a four car garage located on his land to house the baler, but in time to come he would grow out of the facility and need to construct a larger building in which he could store his growing quantity of material and bales. The entire structure was built by hand-formed blocks. He used a hand truck and simple block and tackle to load the bales onto his vehicle.
