What Mazza Recycling does

Mazza Recycling Services, Ltd. is a family-owned waste management and recycling company founded in 1964 and headquartered at a 55-acre campus in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. The company operates a vertically integrated platform spanning roll-off and front-end dumpster rentals (10-30 yd and 2-8 yd sizes), commercial collection routes, a $15 million Material Recovery Facility with the east coast's first single-stream system featuring complete positive sorting, a 1,100-ton-per-day NJDEP-approved transfer station, and specialized recycling streams for scrap metal, concrete, tires, wood, brush, and impacted soil. The technology stack includes TOMRA optical sorters equipped with GAINnext artificial intelligence and Deep Laiser recognition deployed for material recovery, supplemented by a solar-powered facility. Customer segments include residential homeowners, contractors, commercial businesses, municipalities, and industrial scrap generators across 13+ counties in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Mazza generates revenue through a mix of transactional and recurring models: per-ton disposal fees at the transfer station ($133.25/ton with a $78 minimum), quote-based roll-off dumpster rentals (10/20/30 yd with 2-4 ton allowances), subscription-based commercial front-end collection contracts (monthly/bi-weekly/weekly pickups), commodity sales of recovered materials (metals, paper, cardboard, plastics, glass), and retail landscape product sales through the Mazza Mulch subsidiary. The company sells branded and co-packed mulch, compost, and topsoil through a 2022 automated bagging facility and the 2023 Second Nature plant. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer, with online dumpster ordering, phone-based quoting, and on-site commercial service audits.

The corporate group includes wholly-owned subsidiaries Mazza Scrap Recycling, Mazza Mulch, Liberty Waste & Recycling (acquired 2024), Bull Waste & Recycling (acquired 2024), and Liberty Transfer Station, LLC (acquired 2025). Co-owners Dominick J. Mazza, Jr. and James F. Mazza, Jr. acquired the Shafto Road facility from their fathers in June 2017, continuing multi-generational family ownership. The company has no disclosed institutional investors, no public listing, and is led operationally by a 51-100 person team supplemented by union/contract driver capacity. Recent strategic posture is acquisitive, with three regional acquisitions completed in 14 months to extend geographic reach into Greater Philadelphia.
