With a vision of providing their customers with the convenient and effective options throughtout their day to make the most thoughtful choices about what they do with their waste, together they are leading The Way to a Better Environment. During the 43 years they have been in business, they have evolved into a company with 140 employees, over 70 vehicles on the road each day and 35,000 residential and commercial customers. They attribute this success to their commitment to provide the best service to all their customers every day. Even though they are literally all over town every day, they have one of the best safety records in their industry and they have won the “Pewter Stag” award several times from the Hartford Insurance Company for their safety record and their safety programs. They are proud to support numerous local non-profits, particularly those with an environmental sustainability mission and/or those focusing on helping under-restheirced kids.

Recyclers are essential in transforming discarded materials into valuable resources, reducing the strain on natural ecosystems and minimizing landfill waste. By collecting, sorting, and processing items like paper, plastics, metals, glass, and electronics, recyclers help divert waste from disposal and reintroduce it into the supply chain.
