Who We Are:
Balcones Resources is on a mission to recover as much valuable material from our waste streams as possible, extending the life of our natural resources and contributing to a circular economy. We are one of the largest independent recycling companies in the country, with operations in Texas, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, New York, and New Jersey. All we do is recycle – we are not associated with a landfill, which makes us experts in diverting recyclable materials away from trash piles and into our recycling programs. Working with Balcones Resources is a partnership. From municipalities to small businesses, we offer a personal approach to help our customers and partners reach their zero waste goals, conduct effective educational outreach, and maximize comprehensive recycling programs.
Most critical though, none of this is possible without the passion and dedication of our hundreds of employees across four states. Keeping the health, safety, and professional development of our staff across the company is paramount to our success and one of the principles that we think distinguishes us from our peers. We believe that Balcones attracts and produces the very best professionals in the recycling industry and are excited to continue developing and recruiting more passionate team members who are interested in our mission and our growth.
