Interstate Waste Services Inc., a provider of solid waste collection, recycling and disposal services, on Dec. 1 announced the acquisition of Filco Carting Corp. Financial terms were not disclosed.
This transaction strengthens the CWZ (commercial waste zones) preparedness of Action Environmental Services, IWS’s BIC-licensed and CWZ-awarded subsidiary, across New York City. Interstate Waste Services is expanding throughout the tri-state region.Â
Filco Carting Corp., founded in New York City in 1910, began its operations with a single horse and cart on 38th Street. Now, in its fourth generation of family ownership, Filco has grown into one of New York City’s longest-established waste management companies.
In 2024, through the acquisitions of a series of residential waste collection contracts, Filco expanded its service area and relocated its headquarters to Closter. Filco said on its website that it services about 5,000 commercial, residential, industrial and institutional firms in the New York City metropolitan area.
“Joining Interstate Waste Services marks an exciting step in our century-long history,” said Domenic Monopoli, owner, president and chief executive officer of Filco Carting. “IWS shares our values and commitment to service, and I am confident that our legacy will continue to grow within this organization.”
As part of the acquisition, IWS will integrate Filco’s commercial and residential collection services, municipal contracts, nearly 40 fleet vehicles and more than 100 employees into its operational network.
Over the last six months, IWS has partnered with long-standing operators to ensure their traditions and customer relationships continue to thrive under a shared vision. The acquired companies include Diverse Recycling Solutions, Full Circle Recycling Services, Amro Carting Corp. and select assets of Evergreen Waste Corp. and City Waste Services. Â
Interstate Waste Services operates solid waste and recycling services in the greater New York City, New Jersey and Connecticut markets.
