J.P. Mascaro & Sons, founded in 1964 by Joseph P. Mascaro, Sr., began as a small operation with a single truck and a contract with General Electric Aerospace Center in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. Since its inception, the company has grown into one of the premier solid waste and recycling service providers in the country. Today, it operates 17 divisions, employs over 850 individuals, and owns a fleet of 400 trucks, as well as several DEP-permitted landfills and transfer stations throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
