About this Location
Viking Recycling Lake Wales Facility is located at 1624 FL-60, Lake Wales, FL 33859.
On October 28th, 1999, Victor Pancorvo opened the doors of Viking Recycling in Lake Wales, seeing the potential this central Florida city held. With a population of only 10,000 in 1999, Viking Recycling has grown with the community and seen an almost 50% rise in the population in the now fifteen years of operation. We have watched you, your businesses, and your families grow over these last 15 years and have enjoyed every minute serving you. Unfortunately, Victor was only able to experience the overwhelming joy and inherent success of servicing this community for thirteen years before his untimely passing. His son, Pierre Pancorvo, subsequently gained control of Viking Recycling, Inc., as well as his father’s passion and enthusiasm for recycling and great customer service.
