Burns’ Innovative Sorting System Becomes First RCI-Certified Mixed C&D Operation in Pennsylvania

We are excited to announce that the Richard S. Burns TOMMYcart® System located in Philadelphia, PA has completed RCI’s rigorous review process and is now Certified!  This makes Burns’ TOMMYcart® System the first Mixed C&D operation to become RCI-Certified in Pennsylvania.  What makes this operation so unique?

The Richard S. Burns and Company facility is centered around a unique technology-driven way of collecting, tracking, and processing commingled or source separated construction debris. The Material Recovery process and TOMMYcart® System designed by members of the Richard S. Burns and Company team (holding multiple US Patents for design and use) is an innovative cart distribution, collection, and recovery tracking system. The TOMMYcart® System utilizes unique identification technology allowing carts to be assigned to a specific project site, client, or tradesmen, able to track waste from inception at the point of generation, through collection, separation, and recovery activities. This industry-leading technology aligns directly with materials management tracking and reporting requirements of projects following the US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Rating System for green building certification.
