Alex Rubbish was started in 1969 in Alexandria by the Kluver family, and is owned by “The Hometown Guys,” Shaynen Schmidt, Ricky Kluver (long-time employee of Alex Rubbish and nephew of the previous owners), Stuart Schmidt and Shane Schmidt. All four owners were born and raised in the Alexandria area and want to keep the long-time Alex Rubbish business local.
All four owners have been involved in the recycling and refuse industry for more than 25 years. The company’s name is Alex Rubbish & Recycling Inc. (ARR). ARR currently has 15 employees, including longtime employee Beanie Geris.
