Winters Bros. is a privately owned waste management enterprise headquartered in West Babylon, New York, focusing its operations mainly within the New York region. It stands as the foremost waste disposal company on Long Island, operating six recycling centers alongside twelve transfer stations. The firm provides services including dumpster rentals, recycling solutions, and comprehensive waste management, with recovered materials distributed internationally.
Acquisitions
Initially rooted in Long Island, Winters Bros. broadened its reach into Connecticut by acquiring 25 waste disposal businesses previously owned by James Galante in 2011. In 2015, the company expanded further by purchasing Connecticut and New York operations from Waste Management, maintaining service delivery through contractual agreements. That same year, Winters Bros. also absorbed several smaller companies, notably acquiring Progressive Waste Solutions’ assets on Long Island, thereby reinforcing its market position regionally.
Facilities
The largest operational site for Winters Bros. is located in West Babylon, NY, where it manages recycling processes, transfer activities, and hauling services. Additional transfer stations and yards across New York include facilities in Glen Cove, NY, Medford, NY, Old Bethpage, NY, Holtsville, NY, and Yaphank, NY. Within Connecticut, the company operates two facilities situated in Danbury and Shelton.
Transportation
In New York State, Winters Bros. utilizes the Bushwick Branch rail corridor under contract with the New York and Atlantic Railway, operating through Waste Management's Varick Transfer Station. For Connecticut operations, it employs the Housatonic Railroad's Maybrook Line.
An affiliate entity, Shamrock Rail, acquired Brookhaven Rail LLC in 2020 to oversee rail services at the Brookhaven Rail Terminal located in Yaphank, NY. Winters Bros. intends to establish a waste-to-rail transfer facility on neighboring land to improve the efficiency of transporting waste materials.
Equipment
The company operates a fleet exceeding 200 vehicles that cater to residential, commercial, industrial, and construction clients. Its trucks are equipped with robotic arms enabling automated bin collection without requiring drivers to exit their vehicles. Additionally, flatbed trucks are deployed for handling large-scale pickups and transporting construction debris.
