In the early 1980's, Chris Kiralla, our Founder & President, was an outside sales associate working for a major Los Angeles refuse hauling firm. During that period, Chris witnessed thousands of tons of trash being disposed of in our landfills. Some items, such as paper, cardboard and metal were pulled out for recycling and eventual reuse. While many things were being recycled, wood, for the most part, was largely ignored. BINGO! Opportunity was knocking and hence the creation of Recycled Wood Products in 1983.

Chris started out on a small piece of rented property surrounded by a rented temporary fence. He worked alone on a rented tractor with no employees to creat RWP.

Through almost 30 years of hard work, prudent planning and tenacity, Chris along with his expert staff has grown Recycled Wood Products into California's premier producer of 100% recycled content mulch. No only that, but RWP has developed quite a fariety of other landscape and nursery materials that are also 100% Green. Recycled Wood Products was GREEN decades before it became fashionable.

We currently manufacture or products at the main facility in Pomona and 2 other sites in the inland empire. The combined facilities total approximately 20 acres. Soon to open is our 4th manufacturing site in the Los Angeles area.
