“We are excited to open both facilities as they are important to our long term sustainability objectives.” said Brendon Pantano, CEO of Coastal Waste & Recycling. “Our partnership with Machinex has been important in meeting our goals.”
Advancing Commercial Recycling Operations in Ft. Myers
Commissioned in fall 2025, the 20-TPH Ft. Myers commercial single-stream system transformed a former dump-and-bale site into a fully integrated processing facility. Designed to improve OCC quality while adding flexibility to process residential recycling alongside commercial material, the system features a Back Scraping Drum, MACH Screw Screen™, MACH Ballistic Separator, MACH Eddy Current and II Ram Baler, all manufactured by Machinex. The facility now produces high-quality OCC, mixed paper, ferrous and non-ferrous bales.
Strengthening C&D Recovery Capacity in Indian River
In Indian River, Coastal expanded its strong C&D presence by adding a 100-TPH system commissioned in late summer 2025. The system incorporates a MACH Trommel and MACH Eddy Current to recover wood, OCC, ferrous, non-ferrous, aggregate and recovered screen material (RSM). Machinex engineered a compact solution capable of meeting Coastal’s high throughput demands.
“Our goal is never to just deliver equipment, it’s to build long-term processing solutions that grow with our partners. Coastal’s continued confidence in Machinex across four Florida facilities speaks to the strength of the relationship and the performance of the systems,” shared Rusty Angel, Senior Eastern Region Sales Manager at Machinex.
The collaboration quickly evolved beyond the initial projects. Coastal cited Machinex’s timeliness, efficiency and seamless project management throughout the process as key factors in expanding the relationship to include a commercial and residential single-stream facility Pompano Beach and a C&D system in Miami in 2026.
Together, the four-project rollout represents a scalable, long-term approach to processing infrastructure, strengthening Coastal’s footprint in the commercial, residential single-stream and C&D markets across Florida.
