Municipal waste solutions easier via joint venture
Manassas, VA — EnviroSolutions, Inc., a leading waste solutions company
with offices in New Jersey, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, and West
Virginia, announced today that it has entered into a joint venture with
the Anastasio Group, New Haven, CT and CSX Transportation,
Jacksonville, FL. The joint venture will offer municipalities, public
authorities, states and corporations complete waste handling and
processing services utilizing rail transportation systems.
“With increasing fuel costs, rail transportation has become a very cost
effective method over trucking. Our new partnership has created a
seamless process for collecting, processing and shipping waste by rail
transportation. There are numerous environmental and cost benefits with
the use of rail. With less trucks on the road, there is a positive
impact on overall air quality and highway congestion. Our new joint
venture brings a variety of environment and economic benefits to our
present and future customers,” said Scott Cunningham, v.p.,
EnviroSolutions.
“The use of rail for shipping waste has now been widely recognized as a
very environmentally friendly and energy efficient transportation
option. Because trains are more than three times as fuel efficient as
trucks, shifting just ten percent of long haul waste from truck to rail
would reduce fuel consumption by more than one billion gallons a year.
As one of the largest CSX Transportation’s clients, Anastasio Group’s
Circle of Life, Anastasio Trucking and New Haven National Rail have
become leaders in the rail freight industry. Equally important is our
commitment to helping to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by providing
rail as a transportation option to fuel driven vehicles,” explained
Andy Anastasio, CEO, Anastasio Group.
Based in New Haven, CT, The Anastasio Group comprises of a collective
organization which includes Circle of Life Transfer Station/Volume
Reduction Facility, New Haven National Rail and Transportation Company,
