Dream Green Eyes Expansion in Adams
By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — The town will consider whether to approve a special tax assessment agreement for Dream Green Recycling at a special town meeting anticipated for the fall.
The recycling company helps people rid of bulky waste including mattresses, electronics, and appliances through a door-to-door pickup service across Western Mass, Springfield, Vermont, New York, and New Hampshire.
Most recently, Dream Green received the International Secure Information Governance & Management Association and National Association for Information Destruction certification so it is able to provide data destruction and data-scrubbing.
According to its website, Dream Green is one of 62 permitted mattress recyclers in the country, and Western Mass's only state Environmental Protection Agency 608 certified refrigerant recovery facility.
The business, owned by Kyle Danforth, Dan Haskins, and Patrick Kennedy, has operated from leased facilities at 15 Printworks Drive in Adams and a 10,000-square-foot facility in Pittsfield.
However, they hope to expand the Adams building and move everything they do in Pittsfield back to Adams. Yesterday, they purchased 15 Printworks Drive from Shaker Mountain Properties, marking the first step in a planned expansion.
Over the years the company has diversified its services based on the needs of the community, becoming a one-stop-shop for recycling, Danforth said.
