Taylor Recycling, Inc.

What Taylor Recycling, Inc. does

Taylor Recycling, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned waste management and recycling company headquartered in Taylor, Michigan, founded in 1949. The company processes recyclable materials and provides roll-off container, hauling, and compactor and baler services to industrial, commercial, municipal, and residential customers across Southeast Michigan, including Detroit, Monroe, Ann Arbor, and surrounding suburbs. Its core offerings include roll-off containers ranging from 10 to 80 cubic yards, semi trailers spanning 40 to 53 feet for heavy hauling, dumpster rentals in 10–40 yard sizes, and compactors and balers available for lease or purchase to high-volume waste generators. The company also purchases and processes ferrous and non-ferrous metals, cardboard, paper, wood, plastic, electric motors, automotive batteries, and radiators at a public drop-off site equipped with a state-certified scale.

The core technology layer is mechanical and logistical rather than digital: a state-certified scale for accurate weighing of scrap metals, a diversified fleet of roll-off containers and semi trailers, and supporting heavy hauling equipment. There is no proprietary software platform, no API, no mobile application, and no AI component disclosed. The go-to-market is direct-to-customer via phone (313-291-7410 ext 3) and a static informational website; the company has no formal marketing function, no social media presence, and no public pricing — all services are quote-based. The customer mix spans construction contractors, municipalities, industrial and commercial accounts, small businesses, large corporations, and a limited residential segment, with the recycling processing line restricted to commercial customers.

The revenue model is a mix of recurring container rental (roll-off and dumpster), transactional scrap metal purchases subject to daily commodity pricing, transactional heavy hauling fees, and equipment leasing or sales of compactors and balers. The business is owner-operator, with no institutional investors, no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. With 1–10 employees reported and a single Taylor, Michigan facility, the company operates as a small, locally embedded regional recycler rather than a scaled platform.
