About Us

ALPCO Recycling was founded in 1960 as a gravel business and eventually using the empty gravel pits as landfills; replacing the commonly used “burning dumps”. Al Plumb started pulling out cardboard and other recyclable materials in order to divert it from the landfill and put it to good use. In 1989, ALPCO Inc became ALPCO Recycling, with its sole focus on the conservation of energy and other natural resources through the use of recycling. ALPCO Recycling quickly became a leader in Upstate NY in the areas of residential, commercial and industrial recycling.

Had a worn out treadmill that I needed to recycle. Drove in, got weighed, backed up to a pile, pulled it out of truck onto the pile, got weighed again, went to the cashier's office, and got paid! I was in and out in under 15 minutes.

I have been to ALPCO twice now, and each time it was an easy process with helpful and courteous employees helping me. Recycling boxes, throwing out a toilet, recycling metal, etc. They made it easy and came to my car to help get the items out.

Went there Sunday 7/21 and the guy that was in blue building doing copper was great so helpful answered all our questions. By far one of the best since going there for years.The payouts aren't very good but I guess it's not Alpcos fault.
