Our company strikes a balance between family values, innovation, and adaptability, which fosters growth and development for both employees and customers. As a leading recycling and waste management company, our mission includes:
- Continuously enhancing our waste and recycling management technology,

By offering a variety of waste management services such as trash carts, dumpsters, roll-on roll-off dumpsters, and compactors, we cater to general waste, mixed recycling, and cardboard waste streams for clients in Texas and Florida. Our commitment to environmental responsibility and tailored waste management solutions ensures that we effectively address the unique needs of each community we serve.
The History of JJ’s Waste & Recycling
J.J. Richards & Sons Pty Ltd was established by Joseph John Richards, who won his first refuse and sanitary kerbside collection contract in Australia.
Now trading as JJ’s Waste & Recycling, the Company has come a long way since those days and today has operations throughout all State and Territories in Australia, in the North and South islands of New Zealand and more recently in the United States of America. JJ’s Waste has a fleet of over 1,800 vehicles and employs over 2,000 people.
