We began our business in 1986 as East County Recycling, with the belief that recycling was good for the environment and for business. Over the years we've expanded our facility and adopted innovative tools and technologies to maximize recovery rates, reduce recycling costs and protect the environment.

Today we draw on more than 20 years of experience in dry waste recovery to make a positive impact not only on the environment but also on the people, communities and businesses that we serve.
