The Construction & Demolition Recycling Association (CDRA) inducted Leonard Cherry and Ken Hoving into its C&D Hall of Fame.
Cherry is president of Houston-based Cherry Co., a wide-ranging recycling and demolition firm that has 13 concrete recycling and stabilized materials sites. The company also processes asphalt shingles and tires. Additionally, Cherry served on the board of the CDRA.
Hoving was president of K Hoving Co. in West Chicago, Illinois, until its purchase by Lakeshore Recycling Systems, where he stayed on as an executive until his retirement. A long-time member of the Chicago waste industry, Hoving built up the C&D recycling operation into one of the more modern operations in the Chicago area. He served on the CDRA Board, including as member at large on the executive committee.
“Both of these gentlemen exemplify the best in the C&D recycling industry,” says Troy Lautenbach, CDRA president. “Their service and innovation in the industry, as well as their work for the association and their communities, make them deserving of this honor.”
According to the association, the C&D Hall of Fame is to honor prominent members of the construction and demolition recycling industry. Additionally, the hall of fame honors members of the industry that have contributed to their community.
The association also inducted a C&D Recycler of the Year and CDRA Member of the Year for 2018. The awards will be presented at C&D World 2018 Feb. 10-13 in Nashville.
