Apr 08, 2021 DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.-- Environmental Solutions Group (ESG), part of Dover (NYSE: DOV), today announced that the City of Columbus, Georgia is in the process of streamlining its refuse collection programs and is looking to ESG's Heil ® for new Durapack ® Automated Side Loaders to help increase efficiencies related to the City's recycling program. Columbus currently services close to 60,000 homes, and Rhonda Rice, Solid Waste and Recycling Collections Division Manager, said the way they've been picking up trash and recycling needed updating and modification. "We've been working on developing a new system for the past two years after we reached the capacity of what our rear loaders could do," said Rice, adding that both COVID-19 and workforce inconsistencies were putting a strain on current collection efforts.
