Willimantic Waste Paper was first started by Patrick DeVivo more than 60 years ago. James DeVivo joined his father in 1950 and ultimately assumed responsibility for the company in 1970. Jim's sudden passing in 1996 was a shock, not only for his family, but for the community as a whole. Jim led the expansion of the business in many directions while at the same time emphasizing the firm's long-held policy of 'investing in the community' -- a guiding principle still in force today.
Now managed by the family's third generation, WWP has grown steadily to include three waste and recycling plants, a transfer station, over 160 employees, and an extensive collection and trucking system.In the 1940's, WWP was dedicated to recycling metal, rags and paper in the immediate Willimantic, Connecticut area. While those services continue today, WWP now offers much more -- a full range of recycling, collection, and disposal services throughout Connecticut and the New England region. The firm's services include:

We pay you the highest prices possible for all types and grades of scrap metal by staying on top of the global marketplace, and then we segregate and prepare metals to meet the best international markets. Whenever possible, we ship by rail to keep costs and fuel consumption down.Scrap metal goes around the world. It is industry's most vital commodity. But, this also means that prices change all the time as appetites for materials follow industry cycles. We 'keep on top' of the markets, meaning we always pay you more and we've been doing this for decades. Our growth has been achieved through reliability and by keeping our suppliers satisfied.

Different Types Of Scrap Metals
Scrap metal exports are one of the largest in the US and by recycling metals; we reduce the amount of ore drilling throughout the world. Typically, scrap metals can be divided into two basic categories of either ferrous or non-ferrous. Determining if you have a ferrous or non-ferrous metal is the first important step before bringing it to be recycled. So how do you know what type of scrap metal you are trying to recycle? One of the most common and simplest ways is to use a magnet and even just a refrigerator magnet will work.
If the magnet sticks to the metal, you have a ferrous scrap metal like iron or steel. This type is not worth as much as other scrap metals but are still valuable and should be properly recycled.

Single Stream

Single stream recycling allows both residential and commercial recyclers to place all recyclables into one bin, regardless of material type. Because separating recyclables into two different bins is not required, recycling is easier for the consumer and increases participation throughout the community.Recyclables no longer need to be sorted. Instead, recycling may be placed in the same bin. Simplifying the process results in higher consumer participation, more recyclables collected, and less waste in our landfills. And, automation makes us more efficient while increasing worker safety.

Willimantic Waste Paper sorts single stream waste using its state-of-the-art Bollegraaf single stream system, which is designed and built around the unique needs and requirements of the community and specific materials it recycles. At a rate of over 25 tons per hour, this system processes and separates all recyclables into sellable end products, such as newspaper, mixed paper, ferrous cans, aluminum cans, soda bottles, milk jugs, detergent bottles, and #3 - #7 bottles and glass.
