USA Hauling & Recycling

What USA Hauling & Recycling does

USA Hauling & Recycling is a privately held, family-owned waste management and recycling company headquartered in Enfield, Connecticut, founded in 1974 as Somers Sanitation and now led across three generations of the Antonacci family. The company provides an integrated platform of residential curbside collection, single-stream recycling, dumpster rentals (6-30 cubic yards), commercial container service (2-50 yard), confidential material handling, food waste and organics recycling, bear-resistant carts, cart cleaning, recycled landscaping products, and construction and demolition (C&D) waste management delivered through subsidiaries F&G Recycling (C&D contractor, licensed Class B demolition) and Murphy Road Recycling (MRF operations) under the All American Waste brand. Services are delivered via a direct, asset-heavy model that operates its own fleet of automated side-loader, front-load, rear-load, roll-off, and hook lift trucks across Connecticut, Western Massachusetts, Westchester County NY, Southern Vermont, and Southern New Hampshire, targeting residential homeowners, commercial businesses, contractors, municipalities, and food waste generators.

The company's core processing infrastructure is the All American MRF (Material Recovery Facility) in Berlin, Connecticut, which completed $40 million in upgrades in 2023 focused on worker safety and fiber recovery, holds Gold certification from the Glass Recycling Coalition, and operates Greyparrot AI-powered material analyzers and additional optical sorters for real-time material identification and quality control. A Machinex C&D sorting system installed in 2021 at Wilbraham, Massachusetts recovers wood, metal, and other materials from construction debris, with reported C&D recycling rates of 65-82% on recent projects including Fontaine Bros. WR Peck School (82.12%), Shawmut Yale Divinity Living Village (81.11%), and Consigli Latham Field House (71.55%). The fleet runs on compressed natural gas with ASL trucks 90% quieter and producing 90% less NOx than diesel, supported by four public-access CNG fueling stations and solar installations generating 350,000 kWh annually at the Berlin facility.

USA generates revenue through a mix of recurring subscription billing (residential curbside pickup, commercial container service, municipal contracts, food waste programs), transactional pricing (dumpster rentals with quote-based pricing inclusive of delivery, pickup, and weight limits), per-project fees (C&D recycling and LEED documentation work), and commodity/retail sales (recycled landscaping products). Customer acquisition is sales-led via direct customer service representatives, phone consultation, and a self-serve online dumpster booking portal featuring AR visualization, supplemented by community involvement, local partnerships, and earned media coverage including a 2025 CBS News feature on the MRF that generated over 40 million nationwide impressions.
