Allied Waste Services of Revere Recycling--Materials Recovery Facilities

Allied Waste is one of America’s largest recyclers. We have 78 materials recovery facilities and other recycling operations. These facilities sort recyclable paper, cardboard, aluminum, glass and other materials.

Most of these recyclable materials are internally collected by our residential collection operations. In some areas, we receive commercial and industrial solid waste that is sorted at our facilities into recyclable materials and non-recyclable waste. The recyclable materials are salvaged, repackaged and shipped to third parties, and the non-recyclable waste is disposed of.

Allied Waste recycles approximately 3.3 million tons of material annually. That's equal to more than 200 pounds per second. Recycling the paper products alone is equivalent to saving 41 million trees.
