Who we are
E.L. Harvey & Sons is a full service waste hauling, transfer, and scrap recycling operation. It has been an independent, family owned and operated business since 1911, when Emory Larkin Harvey started this company.

At the facility in Westborough, Massachusetts, the main office houses the customer service, sales, finance, and executive departments, all dispatch, scale, monitoring, and safety departments are housed in the scale house at the main entrance. The maintenance garage handles the service and repairs of our fleet.

E.L. Harvey operates a high-grade scrap paper processing and baling plant that also contains an plant-based shredding system. The waste transfer station contains a backup baler for handling all recyclable materials and wastes. The commercial MRF (Material Recovery Facility) sorts fiber rich loads, as well as removing and baling the fiber. The C&D transfer and recycling operation consists of a trommel screen and short conveyor sorting line. The installation department designs and pre-fabricates installations to meet the varied demands of customers. In addition some ancillary operations are mobile shredding services, liquid product destruction, municipal, commingled, recycle sorting, residential waste, and recycling services.

In addition to providing customers with a level of superior service, E.L. Harvey & Sons also takes an active role in the surrounding communities. We are a large contributor to numerous charitable organizations, such as WABA (Westborough Athletics Boosters Association) and Abby’s House, a home for abused women, as well as involvement in community outreach programs through the Corridor Nine Chamber of Commerce, and many others. We strive not only to help protect the environment, but also the many people who share the environment with us.
