Our History

Devens Recycling Center LLC was founded in March of 2006.

Our founder, Kurt Macnamara, having spent the past 20 years in the Demolition industry envisioned a modern day landfill where construction and demolition material would be separated by commodity and reused as alternate products. Through several years of extensive research and negotiations the dream became a reality. On November 15, 2006 we broke ground for what would become the largest construction and demolition debris processing center in all of Massachusetts. Less than one year later we proudly opened our doors for business on September 6, 2007.

Kurt Macnamara is no stranger to the construction and demolition disposal industry. He is the owner of W.K. Macnamara Corporation, a full-service demolition company that has been successfully operating in the New England area for over 13 years. Kurt's commitment to the environment and his active participation with various subcommittees of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) laid the ground work for his newest venture here at Devens. In July 2006 the MA DEP instituted a waste ban for various construction and demolition materials. This ban prohibits landfills from accepting asphalt paving, brick, concrete, metal and wood.

Recycling is no longer "just a nice thing to do" but an essential part of ensuring that the environment we leave our children is cleaner and healthier for everyone.
