Kerry Getter is not a man prone to hyperbole. Here, for instance, is how the MRF executive described his company's perspective on the blended value of material in the curbside stream, which has fluctuated enormously of late: "We lick our wounds when it goes down, and we celebrate when it goes up." Such a matter-of-fact sentiment from Getter makes sense, considering his industry experience. In 1994, Getter founded Austin, Texas-based Balcones Resources, and he has been at the helm throughout. The materials recovery facility company now processes a total of roughly 21,000 tons per month with operations in Austin, Dallas and Little Rock, Ark.
