History

From 1959 we have built an impressive company. Grandpa Jo Koot started it up. He started with a cargo bike. Soon his son Leo joined and the work was done with a VW bus. A few years later, Leo's brother Ton also joined the business. Paper, iron, rags and metals were then collected from all over the area in a somewhat larger truck. Later, paper bins were placed at shopping centers and emptied by the Koot brothers. Eventually Leo's son Marco also joined the family business.

In 2003 the company was forced to move. It now has a beautiful large building at Industrieweg 5B in Zoetermeer. Unfortunately, due to the death of Ton and a little later Leo in 2012, the company continues alone with Leo's son Marco. Today it is an important company because the environment has been given such a high priority. We are very big and good at this, recycling is our keyword. We think that's important in this throw-away society.

We will go there with a nice group and will let Leo and Ton look back proudly on their great company.
