What J.P.Mascaro & Sons does

J.P. Mascaro & Sons is a privately held, family-owned solid waste and recycling services company founded in 1964 in Audubon, Pennsylvania, by J.P. Mascaro Sr. and currently led by President Pat Mascaro. The company operates across Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New Jersey, and Delaware through more than eight hauling divisions and serves municipalities, commercial and industrial customers, residential customers via municipal franchises, schools and universities, and wastewater treatment plants. Its primary go-to-market is competitive bidding for municipal contracts (services to 39+ municipalities and 10+ school districts in Northeast Pennsylvania, and over 70 municipalities statewide), supplemented by direct field sales to commercial accounts and residential service through municipal partnerships.

The company is vertically integrated across the waste management value chain, owning collection fleets, transfer stations, landfills, a single-stream materials recovery facility, and an indoor composting operation. Core infrastructure includes TotalRecycle, Inc. (a 75,000 sq. ft. facility processing 700 tons of recyclables per day), A&M Compost (677,600 sq. ft. indoor composting facility processing 22,500 tons per month of biosolids), the Mascaro Transfer Station (800 tons/day permitted), Pioneer Crossing Landfill (with methane-to-energy capacity equivalent to powering 14,000 homes annually), White Pines Landfill, and Brooke and Wetzel County facilities in West Virginia. Technical differentiation centers on indoor composting with environmental control and leachate management, single-stream sorting accepting plastics #1-7 plus aseptic and flexible plastic packaging, and landfill gas-to-energy generation.

Revenue is generated through subscription-style municipal and commercial collection contracts, tipping fees at owned transfer stations, landfills, and the TotalRecycle MRF, specialty services (sludge hauling, e-waste, sharps disposal, emergency response), and biosolids composting fees. Recent commercial activity includes a $2.8 million three-year Jessup Borough contract awarded in May 2026 and a 10-year DEP permit renewal for the Mascaro Transfer Station in April 2026. The company employs 501-1000 people and remains privately held with no disclosed external institutional investment.
