All American Waste

All American Waste is at the forefront of waste, hauling, and processing, innovating every step as we work to find the best solutions for safe and efficient residential and commercial services. From building the largest state-of-the-art recycling facility in the country to powering our buildings with solar energy and fueling our trucks with all-American natural gas, we are committed to you, our communities, and the planet.

Our story started with a single truck. In 1974, founder Guy "Sonny" Antonacci and his wife, Mary Ann, started Somers Sanitation - named after our hometown of Somers, Connecticut. Today, three generations of family and a dedicated team of professionals are leading our companies into the future. While our fleet, facilities, services, and family have all grown, we take pride in continuing to operate our businesses based on the fundamental principle that has guided us since the beginning - to provide exceptional service and innovation to the communities and people we serve.

Join a team committed to moving forward to remain at the forefront of sustainability.

Some see waste. We see possibilities.
