Are you passionate about sustainability and ready to drive change--literally? LJP is a zero landfill, environmental services company and on a mission to revolutionize the waste industry with a Zero-Landfill approach, and we want YOU to be a part of it.

 

What We Do:

Since 1993, LJP has been helping large manufacturing companies reach their sustainability goals. We provide commercial waste services, and we convert your waste-to-energy to provide clean fuel.

 

We perform waste evaluations to determine what can be recycled. From there, we sort the recyclable materials, bale them, and sell them on the market. If certain materials cannot be recycled or sold, we convert the remaining products to clean fuel using our waste-to-energy methods. From there, we give you detailed reports explaining how much waste recycling you had by category, and how much was converted into clean energy.
