Angelo’s Recycled Materials has been in the recycling and disposal business for over 50 years having forged its roots to Michigan from Italy in 1960 with Angelo Iafrate, Sr., who started with recycling concrete. The family moved its business in starting a new entity in Florida in 1997 where its emphasis was on green markets and recycled materials. Thus, Angelo’s Recycled Materials was born and grew at a rapid pace.
They grew into 9 facilities in Central Florida where collection of construction and demolition debris, asbestos, roofing, tires, asphalt, concrete, cardboard, and metals became their mainstay. Targeting residential, commercial, governmental, industrial, and agricultural clients became the right recipe for consistent and reliable demand.
Angelo’s is expanding with the opening of 2 new recycling locations, one in Tampa and the other in Lakeland, Florida. Additionally, there will be two new divisions with demolition work going to “SDR- Southeast Dismantling & Recycling” and scrap going to “Angelo’s Recycled Materials”. With the growth of construction and building taking place in Tampa Bay which is one of the leading building areas in new construction and demolition work, there is plenty of room for this organic and acquisition growth. Angelo’s seems to be positioned strategically for the next “hockey stick” uptrend in the Tampa Bay economy.
Further, with environmental and recycling playing a critical role in our lives, the ability to reuse materials that are not toxic or dangerous to our health and communities, is paramount. Wood recycling for gardening and landscaping is a prime example, while used tires provide an energy source that is economical and environmentally friendly. Crushed concrete is a vital material that is reusable in many purposes while asphalt poses an insidious dumping problem, unless addressed with the proper recycling mind set.
Fundamentally, unless a company like Angelo’s has the strategic core values to reduce the carbon footprint by honing in on efficient and effective means of recycling, it can be cumbersome and consequently costly to pursue such a course of business. Most demolition and roll off providers are trying to find the fastest way to remove their debris, while Angelo’s started with the efficient means of removal while saving the planet’s hard earned resources.
Perhaps Angelo’s has been ahead of its time, however time has proven to be right as population growth and limited real estate has forced many to acquiesce to smarter methods of debris removal without effecting collateral damage to the planet. Companies like Waste Management appear to be dominating our psyche while Angelo’s is developing its niche to strategically provide the appropriate services geographically where they see fit. Sticking to their knitting and core competencies has served them well for over a half a century and seems to not be slowing down any time soon.
