Our team is on-site this week at the Recycling Association of North Carolina's 2026 Annual Meeting, taking place August 27-28 at Trailborn Surf & Sound in Wrightsville Beach. The event brings together processors, haulers, and industry decision-makers from across the region for two days of networking and industry insight.

Regional events like this one give processors and haulers a chance to compare notes on equipment, market conditions, and day-to-day operations in a smaller, more focused setting than the larger national shows. For ERS, these conversations usually start with a simple question: how much more value could a yard be pulling out of material it is already processing.

At our table, we are connecting with attendees about ERS metal recovery and refining solutions, engineered to help recycling operations get more value out of every load. Our systems are built around combining trim removal, dust collection, and metals recovery into a single, reliable process, so operators are not left stitching together equipment from multiple vendors. Every system is designed, built, and supported in-house, from initial engineering through ongoing parts and service.

It is a great event, a great location, and a great reminder of how connected this industry's regional network really is, even outside the big national shows. We look forward to staying part of that conversation and continuing to support RANC members in the year ahead.
