Tahlequah Recycling & Sanitation LLC is a local, family-owned company, bringing our community to the next level and permanently changing Tahlequah for the good. What we do isn't fancy, it's very simple. We divert waste from the landfill. We do this by providing containers to our customers, collecting the material regularly, and safely sorting it brokering it to industries that use the material to make another good or product.
