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. Over the years, Moresco’s son-in-law, Silvio Garaventa, Sr. and his daughter, Mary Moresco Garaventa, took the small town solid waste collection operation and built an enterprise that includes multiple municipal franchises dedicated to collection, recycling and resource recovery.
In 1934, the Garaventa family began providing garbage service to the City of Concord, then with a population of 3,500. Today, the Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery serves over 250,000 residences and thousands of businesses throughout Contra Costa, Napa and Solano Counties. Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery combines excellence in customer service with competitive rates, operating recycling and recovery programs designed to increase sustainability and reduce greenhouse gasses.
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.
