from TRY Recycling join us!
Jim Graham is the Chief Operating Officer and Owner of TRY Recycling.
Jim has played a key role in the incredible growth of TRY Recycling ever since purchasing the company from his father, Bill Graham, and two co-founders, Ralph Thompson and Tony Aarts, in 1997. And while a lot has changed since those early days, TRY Recycling continues to pursue growth through its unwavering focus on service, innovation, and industry advancement.
Today, TRY has two facilities and several satellite facilities and drop off depots. They work with 18 different municipalities in different forms and process an average of nearly 200,000 tonnes a year from construction waste, 80 per cent of which is diverted into new products. On top of that, they do about 40,000 tonnes a year of leaf and yard waste composting, and have the largest southwestern Ontario regional leaf and yard waste composting facility for municipalities.
Jim is also the man behind the London Airshow, North America's BEST airshow! We talk about how Jim was on track to be a Top Gun pilot and how his love and passion of aviation is his driving force to continue to run the Airshow!
Jessica Fernandes is the People Operations Director of TRY Recycling. She wears many hats, some of which focus on the customer experience.
Jessica has been working hard to provide an enjoyable experience at TRY facilities for people of all backgrounds and ages – not just contractors. Jessica is a true thought-leader and entrepreneur working within a company that supports her and empowers her to move forward with her ideas to make the company better!
