300+ Unforgettable Recycling Company Name Ideas For Founders

There’s good money in picking up other people’s junk to have it recycled. In fact, the U.S. recycling facilities market is valued at $6.4 billion dollar industry in 2021. The industry’s growth was forecasted to be at 3% until the current health crisis stymied growth last year.

If you plan to enter this market, there are a few ways to approach entering this market. First you could open a fully equipped recycling plant for between $20 – $30 million. But if you can’t come up with that sort of scratch, not to worry. Another option is to operate more like a small junk removal business picks up unwanted appliances or other materials. You won’t need anything more than a mid-size truck to open this type of business. As a sole proprietor you could be in business for around $30,000 with a used vehicle. If your goal is to recycle these products instead of disposing of materials at a junk yard, some consumers will feel better about working with your company.

If you’re scrappy and like to tinker, you can often refurbish and recycle old appliances like freezers or workout equipment like treadmills and flip them for a small profit on websites like CraigsList or eBay. For the items you’re not able to resell, you can deliver to a recycling center. More people than you might think will be more than happy to pay you to pick up their junk to be recycled.

If you’re planning to become a recycling entrepreneur, we’ve come up with a number of recycling company name ideas you can use for any size of startup. You’ll find a list of our suggestions organized by theme below.

The recycling or reuse industry involves the collection, processing, and remanufacture of certain materials considered recyclables. Objects such as plastics, metal, glass, organic materials, rubber, and more recently, computers and gadgets considered as technological or e-waste are collected and reprocessed by recycling companies. You can recycle just about anything.

Recycling is also considered not only a domestic business, but a global one. The U.S. sending much of its plastic waste to China is one example of how recycling is treated as a global industry. In fact, the global waste recycling services market is now valued at more than $53 billion.

Due to the unforeseen health crisis, revenue for the recycling facilities industries was adjusted for a 7.3% decline last year. This slowed down the global markets, but the industry is now positioned to pickup where it left off. There is light at the end of the tunnel as business and life returns to a more normal situation over the coming year.

Looking ahead the future is bright for the recycling industry as a whole. More consumers are becoming educated each year about the benefits of conserving our natural resources. Demand for these services is projected to get stronger in the coming decade.
