Harvey - President
Bob Harvey is a life long resident
of Westborough. Bob graduated from Cornell
University on 1941. Upon his graduation

material in the waste sent to disposal
sites. Today, DEP mandates that all
business waste go through a recycling
process
much like the one the Harvey company
has always
provided its’ customers.
