James DeVivo joined his father in 1950 and ultimately assumed responsibility for the company in 1970. Jim's sudden passing in 1996 was a shock, not only for his family, but for the community as a whole. Jim led the expansion of the business in many directions while at the same time emphasizing the firm's long-held policy of "investing in the community" -- a guiding principle still in force today.Now managed by the family's third generation, WWP has grown steadily to include three waste and recycling plants, a transfer station, over 160 employees, and an extensive collection and trucking system.In the 1940's, WWP was dedicated to recycling metal, rags and paper in the immediate Willimantic, Connecticut area. While those services continue today, WWP now offers much more -- a full range of recycling, collection, and disposal services throughout Connecticut and the New England region.
The firm's services include:
Our modern scrap metal recycling program serves markets around the world. We pay you the highest prices possible for all types and grades of scrap metal by staying on top of the global marketplace, and then we segregate and prepare metals to meet the best international markets. Whenever possible, we ship by rail to keep costs and fuel consumption down.Scrap metal goes around the world. It is industry's most vital commodity. But, this also means that prices change all the time as appetites for materials follow industry cycles. We "keep on top" of the markets, meaning we always pay you more and we've been doing this for decades. Our growth has been achieved through reliability and by keeping our suppliers satisfied.
Different Types Of Scrap Metals
Scrap metal exports are one of the largest in the US and by recycling metals; we reduce the amount of ore drilling throughout the world. Typically, scrap metals can be divided into two basic categories of either ferrous or non-ferrous. Determining if you have a ferrous or non-ferrous metal is the first important step before bringing it to be recycled. So how do you know what type of scrap metal you are trying to recycle? One of the most common and simplest ways is to use a magnet and even just a refrigerator magnet will work. If the magnet sticks to the metal, you have a ferrous scrap metal like iron or steel. This type is not worth as much as other scrap metals but are still valuable and should be properly recycled.If the magnet does not stick to the metal, you have non-ferrous scrap metal like copper, stainless steel, aluminum brass or bronze. These metals are more valuable and important for recycling.

Why Should You Recycle Paper?
Paper recycling is the process of recollecting waste paper and re-creating it into new paper-based products. This means using the essential components of an old product as the new material can be manufactured for new goods. Many businesses recycle paper because it saves money on waste disposal costs. Paper recycling, however, is also good for the community because it not only helps conserve valuable resources but also reduces pollution from production of new materials. Here are some other reasons to recycle paper:
Single stream recycling allows both residential and commercial recyclers to place all recyclables into one bin, regardless of material type. Because separating recyclables into two different bins is not required, recycling is easier for the consumer and increases participation throughout the community.
What are the benefits of a single stream system?
Recyclables no longer need to be sorted. Instead, recycling may be placed in the same bin. Simplifying the process results in higher consumer participation, more recyclables collected, and less waste in our landfills. And, automation makes us more efficient while increasing worker safety.
How is single stream waste sorted?
Willimantic Waste Paper sorts single stream waste using its state-of-the-art Bollegraaf single stream system, which is designed and built around the unique needs and requirements of the community and specific materials it recycles. At a rate of over 25 tons per hour, this system processes and separates all recyclables into sellable end products, such as newspaper, mixed paper, ferrous cans, aluminum cans, soda bottles, milk jugs, detergent bottles, and #3 - #7 bottles and glass.
What is C&D recycling?
Construction and demolition (C&D) waste is generated from the cleanup, renovation, repair, and demolition of houses, buildings, roads, dams, etc. C&D waste is made up of plastic, wood, steel, cardboard, concrete, sheetrock, masonry, metal, tires, mattresses, furniture, and much more. C&D recycling involves the process of recovering recyclable materials (plastic, metal, cardboard, wood, etc.) from the C&D waste stream and preventing them from going into a landfill. At Willimantic Waste we use a semi-automated sorting system to recover the recyclables.
What are the benefits of our C&D recycling system?
Willimantic Waste's system gives us the flexibility to recover and process a variety of C&D debris. The recovered material can then be recycled rather than going into a landfill.
How is C&D sorted?
C&D is recycled using a Lubo USA sorting system in place at Willimantic Waste's Willimantic, CT location. The system measures about 400 feet in length. Material travels over a variety of conveyors, screens and other sorting equipment to create a number of marketable end-products from mixed C&D debris. By incorporating a flexible design with elements specifically chosen to address Willimantic's unique material mix, the Lubo system helps recover material in a cost-effective way.
How does it work?
The process starts on the tipping floor where an excavator fitted with a grapple feeds mixed C&D debris onto a vibrating table. This table feeds the material onto a conveyor that leads to the first sorting station. There, sorters pick out stringy material and large metal.
Material then goes through a primary star-screen to separate larger debris from smaller materials. Material that measures more than 18 inches goes through a sorting conveyor with bins beneath it. Workers stationed at each bin pick out different materials - rigid plastic, OCC, aggregate, ferrous and nonferrous metal, and wood. Material smaller than 18 inches falls through the primary star-screen and is then processed over a second star-screen. The second screen separates out the "fines" and sends remaining debris to a vacuum system that pulls light fractions from the mix. Material then passes under an overhead magnet, which pulls metal out.
