About American Resources
Atlanta's trusted recycling partner since 2005.
More Than a Recycling Company
American Resources was founded with a simple conviction: that responsible recycling isn't just good for the environment — it's good for business. For over two decades, we've helped 200+ Atlanta businesses turn their waste streams into documented savings and landfill diversion.
What started as a scrap metal operation has grown into a full-service environmental waste management partner. Today, we offer seven specialized recycling services, serving over 200 businesses across the Atlanta metro area — from single-location offices to multi-site industrial operations.
Our approach is different. We don't just haul your waste away. We analyze your waste streams, design custom recycling programs, ensure regulatory compliance, and recover as much material as possible from every pound of waste. We're a partner in your sustainability strategy, not just a vendor on your invoice.
What Drives Us
Integrity
We do what we say. Every pickup on time, every material processed responsibly, every report accurate. Our word is our contract.
Sustainability
Every decision we make is weighed against its environmental impact. We exist to keep materials in use and out of landfills.
Partnership
Your success is our success. We invest in understanding your business because one-size-fits-all recycling doesn't work.
Our Impact in Numbers
Proudly Serving the Atlanta Metro Area
We serve businesses throughout the greater Atlanta metropolitan area, including Buckhead, Midtown, Downtown, Decatur, Marietta, Roswell, Sandy Springs, and surrounding communities.
