We are GreenWaste Recovery, Inc., a privately owned solid waste and recycling company that specializes in the collection and processing of residential and commercial trash, yard trimmings, curbside recyclables, food waste and construction and demolition debris.

GreenWaste has pioneered cost-effective waste management practices in Northern California since 1991. Our newly completed Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in San Jose is one of the most innovative processing facilities in the world, capable of sorting and recovering 85% of household waste. Our 85% diversion rate translates into huge volumes of material that are not buried in a landfill, but rather given new life as usable products.

GreenWaste works with its sister companies to operate three facilities: a state of the art Material Recovery Facility; Zanker Road Landfill- a national leader in construction and demolition diversion; and Z-Best Composting in Gilroy- where we transform yard trimmings and food waste into nutrient rich soil amendments. Together, these three facilities provide the most environmentally sound options for local communities’ collection, hauling and recycling needs.

At GreenWaste, we are concerned about the environment- not only our natural environment but also our working environment. We proudly promote our employees, offer valuable training, great benefits and an atmosphere of camaraderie and respect. We believe that GreenWaste’s excellent customer service record is a reflection of the value we place on our employees.

GreenWaste leads the industry in waste recovery innovation and maintains a spotless customer care record – all for a competitive price.
