ALPCO Recycling

Founded in 1960 as a gravel business, ALPCO Recycling has evolved into a pioneering force in responsible waste management. Initially repurposing empty gravel pits as innovative landfills, the company shifted the paradigm away from conventional "burning dumps." Under the leadership of Al Plumb, a visionary approach emerged, focusing on extracting recyclable materials such as cardboard from the waste stream to divert them from landfills. This early commitment laid the groundwork for ALPCO Recycling's transformation.

In 1989, ALPCO Inc underwent a significant rebranding, becoming ALPCO Recycling and cementing its dedication to conserving energy and natural resources through comprehensive recycling practices. Rapidly emerging as a leader in Upstate New York, the company's unwavering devotion to sustainable solutions has propelled it to the forefront of residential, commercial, and industrial recycling initiatives. Rooted in Macedon, New York, ALPCO Recycling's legacy continues to shape a greener, more sustainable world, guided by its founder's vision and an impassioned team.
