About American Resources

Atlanta's trusted recycling partner since 2005.

OUR STORY

More Than a Recycling Company

American Resources was founded with a simple conviction: that responsible recycling isn't just good for the environment — it's good for business. For over two decades, we've helped 200+ Atlanta businesses turn their waste streams into documented savings and landfill diversion.

What started as a scrap metal operation has grown into a full-service environmental waste management partner. Today, we offer seven specialized recycling services, serving over 200 businesses across the Atlanta metro area — from single-location offices to multi-site industrial operations.

Our approach is different. We don't just haul your waste away. We analyze your waste streams, design custom recycling programs, ensure regulatory compliance, and recover as much material as possible from every pound of waste. We're a partner in your sustainability strategy, not just a vendor on your invoice.
