History
Zanker Recycling is a privately owned solid waste and recycling company that began operations in 1985 by developing a landfill into a full-service resource management and composting/recycling facility. In 1998, Zanker expanded operations by permitting an adjacent landfill site as a construction and demolition (C&D) debris processing facility. These two facilities process more than 2,000 tons of mixed debris per day.
Specialties
Zanker Recycling is a nationally renowned facility. We specialize in construction and demolition, debris recycling, wood waste recycling, and green waste composting. Our 90% recycling rate makes us a leader in C&D (construction and demolition) and zero waste recovery. At Zanker we are dedicated to bettering our community. We have helped the city of San Jose expand its Waste Reduction Strategy, developing policies to provide economic incentives for waste generators, haulers, and landfill operators to increase recycling. Zanker supports LEED and Build It Green projects and is also a part of the City of San Jose CDDD Program. In addition to landfill and recycling, we offer compost, colored mulch, base rock, planter mix, sand and drain rock. We provide the loading of your vehicle at no additional charges.
