It solves waste stream problems for manufacturers and industrial customers, combining recycling, waste management, and related logistics and equipment services under a single, one-stop-shop model. The company has operated for nearly fifty years and is described as one of the fastest-growing waste and recycling companies in the United States.

Its client base cuts across industries, with particular exposure to manufacturing, industrial, and food processing operations, though it positions itself to serve businesses of all sizes.
