The Garaventa family, owners and operators of Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery, have family roots going back to the 1930s, when Andrea Moresco operated the one horse and buggy rubbish collection service for the country town of Concord.

Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery Park, in Pittsburg, California, contains the area’s largest state-of-the-art recycling processing center, with a goal of keeping all recyclable items, including paper, metals, cardboard, yard waste, urban wood waste, construction materials and used oil, out of the landfill so as much material as possible can be recycled and reused. The facility also boasts the region’s largest construction and demolition recycling operation, resulting in thousands of tons of material being kept out of the landfill. It has also received acclaim for its on-site community education center which hosts tours, educational events and summer camps for youth.
