STANISLAUS GREEN TEAM AMERICAN RECYCLING: PROID REACON SPONSOR By Linden Coffee, American Recyling Senior Sales Representative
American Recycling Company is a local full service industrial recycling company that began in 2008. We have facilities in Modesto, Oakdale, and Stockton. The facility we took over in Modesto has been in operation since 1946. We concentrate on recycling cardboard, paper, plastic, and metal. Our goal is to set up a comprehensive recycling program for our customers.
REACON Team Investors
As a sales representative for American Recycling, my job is to make sure I set up an account with the best program for their recycling needs. This may include large open top bins, compactors, or balers to consolidate the recyclable material and put it in the best form for transport. Most of our customers are large industrial canneries or distribution centers in the Central Valley. Currently, we are in the midst of “cannery season” which is 100 straight days of heavy canning and is by far our busiest time of year. LINDEN COFFEE AMERICAN RECYLING SENIOR SALES REPRESENTATIVE
With recycling markets being up and down, American Recycling took steps a few years ago to diversify our company. The scrap material that we bring into our facility isn’t always easy to market. These materials have highs and lows not unlike the stock market. To counter unreliable markets, we decided to add food product destruction to our list of services. So, in addition to recycling tin cans from the canneries, we can also take their food product (previously landfilled), de-package it, and put it into animal feed. The ability to do so has made American Recycling a one-stop shop for many of our customers.
Green Sponsors
Our facilities in Modesto and Oakdale accept California Redemption Value (CRV ) aluminum cans and plastic PET bottles. Our customers can bring in cardboard and paper for a cash rebate. Our Modesto site also shreds paper documents for free on Thursdays. If your company needs a very large shredding service, we also do that free of charge if it is delivered to our facility. Recycling markets fluctuate from time to time but our customers know that their needs will be met, regardless of the value of their scrap material. They know that their recyclable material will not end up in a landfill and that is of extreme importance to them. Our goal is to set up the best possible program to ensure satisfaction. American Recycling is a proud sponsor of the REACON Team in both Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties. Linden is the Chairman of the Stanislaus Green Team that meets on the third Thursday of every month in downtown Modesto. Our next meeting is Sept. 17 at 9:00 a.m. P
