Howies Recycling & Trash Service

625 S 10th St., Manhattan, Kansas, United States | Waste recycling

Howie’s Recycling, Inc. was founded in 1984 by Howard, Joann, and Greg Wilson. The Wilsons started their business with 4 Golden Goats (machines that buy aluminum cans) and a trash truck. In 1985 Howie’s Recycling, Inc. decided to concentrate all of its efforts in the recycling business and opened their first recycling center in May of 1986.

Upon opening of the first recycling center, Howie’s Recycling, Inc. bought aluminum cans, scrap aluminum and other non-ferrous metals from individuals and businesses. It soon expanded into other household products. Howie’s Recycling, Inc. purchased the land where it is currently located (625 S 10th) in 1993. The main building is 150 feet x 200 feet in size. All of the materials received at the recycling center are baled with a horizontal baler housed within that building.

When Howie’s Recycling, Inc. started it took approximately six months to generate a semi load of aluminum cans but has grown over the years to currently ship an average of 15 semi loads of materials to be recycled per month. Howie’s is a self serve center for the recycler.  They accept aluminum cans, food and beverage glass, plastic (#1 and #2), newspaper, magazines, office paper, cardboard, and tin cans, as well as all non-ferrous metals.
