HILLSBORO, Ore. — May 14, 2026 — Entro industries announced the successful installation of our first 65-Ton Landfill Tipper at Waste Connections’ Finley Buttes Landfill in Oregon, with the first trailer tip occurring on the 8th of May. The entire project was on budget and was completed ahead of the scheduled delivery date.
Mike Calleja from Waste Connections was instrumental in the development of this machine. Mike had the vision to see what was truly needed for the industry and worked with the Entro team to make it happen. The machine was christened by the Waste Connections team at the industry open house that was held from April 28 through April 30 at Western Fabrication Center in Kelso. At the open house, solid waste professionals from around the nation were invited to come and see the new machine for themselves.
"We have assembled a great team to bring new innovations to the solid waste industry. From engineering, to fabrication, to field service and support, we have a world class organization to take care of our customers from the initial contact to delivery, to maintenance and service support. Additional machines are already in production, as we see growing interest in high quality machinery for the Solid Waste Industry," said Shawn Smith, President of Entro Industries.
