Industrial Carting
We are a third-generation waste and recycling company based in Downtown Brooklyn providing services to businesses throughout the Brooklyn West Commercial Waste Zone.
Along with our company-owned recycling facility, we employ a long-tenured diverse staff of 25 unionized employees.
In 1974 the company moved to its current location in Downtown Brooklyn, which has been in operation as a recycling facility pre-dating WWII. From this site, the company serviced Manhattan and industrial Brooklyn collecting trash and recycling paper and cardboard.
In 1996, the company expanded to service niche garment manufacturers by recycling textile waste. To date, more than 500 million pounds has been collected, baled and shipped to textile mills domestically and internationally for use in the automotive, mattress, sound absorption, carpet underpadding, boxing heavy bag stuffing, blanket weaving and fiber re-spinning industries.
The local apparel industry has since disappeared and today, Industrial Carting provides waste removal services to businesses in Brooklyn, recycling a large percentage of waste for office buildings, small manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.
