About

f

Donoto Marangi, Inc. started in 1955 with one truck and one small route. Since then, a lot has changed. Our area of service has increased, our route sizes have grown, our equipment is state-of-the-art, and we have added multiple locations. The only thing that hasn’t changed is the family who is operating this company. Our first owner/operator, Donato Marangi, taught his son Dominick about garbage; and in return, Dominick taught his three boys about garbage.

 

Today, with the help of other family members and excellent staff, Donato Marangi Inc. is a well-known and respected name in the community – not only for their exceptional service and extremely well-maintained fleet, but for the ties that the family has created growing up and servicing the community. Donato Marangi Inc. has become an industry leader in its service area and will continue to grow with the changes in the waste management field, while always maintaining the feeling of a small, family-owned business.
