Amko Recycling Center

AMKO Recycling Center, based in Colton, California, has been a dedicated pillar of the community for over two decades. Founded in 1995 with a vision to give discarded materials a second life, we have grown into a prominent recycling center, committed to environmental responsibility and sustainable practices.

Our mission is to divert recyclable materials from landfills and the ever-growing tide of waste polluting our oceans. We strive to be a valuable resource for individuals, businesses, schools, hospitals, and every household in our service area. AMKO believes strongly in creating a circular economy where resources are valued and reused, minimizing our environmental footprint.

We understand the critical importance of recycling in conserving our planet's resources. Recycling aluminum, for example, uses significantly less energy compared to manufacturing new aluminum from raw materials. Simply recycling a single aluminum can produces enough energy to power a television for three hours. Imagine the collective impact if all the aluminum cans discarded annually were recycled - the energy saved would be substantial, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.
