ALL AMERICAN WASTE ATTENDS RIDE CLOSER TO FREE EVENT AS PREMIER SPONSOR

December 10, 2015

On Wednesday, December 9, 2015, All American Waste attended the celebration at Stony Creek Brewery in Branford, CT to salute the Closer to Free Riders, Volunteers & Sponsors who went above and beyond in all fundraising efforts for the 2015 5th annual Closer to Free ride to benefit the Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale-New Haven that took place on September 12, 2015.

Over 1,200 riders & 500 volunteers made this year’s event a huge success. $2.2 million was raised to bring us Closer to Free with 100% of the riders & volunteer fundraising going directly to Smilow & Yale Cancer Center due to the generosity of the sponsors such as All American Waste. This is the 5th year that All American Waste is proud to have been a premier sponsor. In attendance at this event was Joe Engravalle of All American Waste.


The 6th annual Closer to Free ride was also announced at this event. There are so many reasons to join us on September 10, 2016 for the 6th annual Closer to Free Ride for Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale-New Haven.

How one recycling plant is using AI to help make sorting process easier, faster

November 5, 2025
Murphy Road Recycling connected with Greyparrot , whose AI-powered material analyzers are installed in the All American MRF to do a feature for CBS News. Ambarish Mitra, the founder of Greyparrot, flew to Connecticut from the UK to visit our facility and spend some time with the crew who installed and maintain the analyzers. These analyzers use AI to identify materials going through the MRF, giving real time insight into the material stream. This data is used to provide quality control information, which is then used to adjust the system to improve efficiency and effectiveness. The CBS crew interviewed both Ambarish and our Director of Operations Jonathan Murray to discuss the relationship between advanced technology and the recycling industry. The CBS News feature aired in November and gained over 40 million nationwide impressions. We are incredibly proud of the hard work put in by our All American MRF crew to ensure the facility is constantly achieving excellence, and putting our region in national focus for recycling innovation.
