CHAMBERSBURG, PA – Chambersburg Waste Paper Co., Inc. (CWP), a Pennsylvania waste and recycling company, has implemented Oil Purification Systems' (OPS) OPS-1 on-board oil refining system on its entire fleet of vehicles. By significantly extending the time between oil changes, CWP expects to save more than 4,000 quarts of oil each year with the OPS-1 implementation, while also reducing harmful effects on the environment. CWP predicts it will be able to run its vehicles at least 90,000 miles between oil changes. 

"We initially became interested in the OPS-1 system because of the strong environmental benefits that it offers," said Kelly Adams, president of CWP. "Because we are changing the oil on our vehicles so much less frequently, while also running with cleaner oil, we are also putting much less oil waste back into the environment. While the environmental factor was the initial draw, we very quickly realized what a strong economic payback we would have with the OPS-1 system as well."

CWP recycles all grades of paper, corrugated materials, non-ferrous and ferrous metals, plastic, glass, and paper stock roll conversion. The company provides disposal of municipal and residual waste, with pickups on a scheduled, on-call, temporary or one-time basis, using only approved sites. CWP offers waste stream analysis to maximize recycling and minimize waste disposal, and staffs bonded personnel for labor-intensive cleanouts. CWP also provides services for contractors, manufacturers, distributors, and homeowners for remodeling and cleanouts.
