About Us

The Russell Reid Company was started in 1943 in East Millstone, NJ by an army veteran named Russell Reid.  The company operated locally until 1981 when it was acquired by then Mr. John President, Morton Weiner.  Mr. Weiner maintained the Russell Reid name due to its recognition and excellent reputation in the waste management industry. 
 
Under the guidance of an established management team, the Russell Reid brand was nurtured and it began to grow.  Business practices already in place at Mr. John were utilized to provide better services for the Russell Reid customer base. As a way to promote efficiency, similar customers were grouped together into categories and individualized services were implemented. Today, Russell Reid still provides specialized services geared towards Commercial, Industrial, Municipal and Residential clients. 

Over the years, significant investments were made in order to become proficient in understanding the waste management business in an effort to create a more efficient way of serving customers.  The service area was expanded and new branches were created throughout the New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania areas. Licensed transfer stations were developed in the Glen Gardner, Keasbey, and Bohemia locations to provide additional disposal capacity for our customers.

Today, that level of commitment to the Russell Reid name has not changed.  We continue to invest in our people, operations, equipment and locations to ensure the highest level of performance to better serve our customers.
