Late last month, a fire started from a spark from contractors cutting torch destroyed the 32,000 sq./ft. paper and plastic recycling facility owned by The Grossman Group, Inc. of Westerville, Ohio. The building, equipment and approximately 750 tons of paper and plastic was destroyed in the blaze. Firefighters were hampered by a lack of sufficient water to the interior water hoses, said the company. The building was owned by the City of Columbus, subleased to the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio who sub-leased to The Grossman Group, Inc. "This is truly an unfortunate situation," said Steve Grossman, President of The Grossman Group."We have gone through almost three years of a financially devastating venture in a pilot program of separating commercial cardboard from trash with SWACO, and only recently started turning the company around by performing recycling for regular recyclables," he said.
