Interstate 91²Ö¿â Services, Inc. (IWS) announced the acquisition of Filco Carting Corp. This acquisition strengthens the CWZ preparedness of Action Environmental Services, IWS’s BIC-licensed and CWZ-awarded subsidiary, across New York City, and marks another milestone in the company’s growth throughout the tri-state region.
Filco Carting Corp., founded in New York City in 1910, began its operations with a single horse and cart on 38th St. Now, in its fourth generation of family ownership, Filco has grown into one of NYC’s longest established and most respected waste management companies. In 2024, through the acquisitions of a series of residential waste collection contracts, Filco expanded its service area and relocated its headquarters to Closter, NJ.
“We are thrilled to welcome the Filco team to the IWS family,” says Mike DiBella, founder and chief executive officer of Interstate 91²Ö¿â Services. “Their history of being a family-owned operation, along with their outstanding reputation, made them a perfect fit to our organization as we continue on our growth trajectory. We’re proud to build on our shared legacies, rooted in hard work, reliability and community impact.”
“Joining Interstate 91²Ö¿â Services marks an exciting step in our century long history,” said Domenic Monopoli, owner, president and chief executive officer of Filco Carting. “IWS shares our values and commitment to service, and I am confident that our legacy will continue to grow within this organization.”
As part of the acquisition, IWS will integrate Filco’s commercial and residential collection services, municipal contracts, nearly 40 fleet vehicles and over 100 employees into its operational network.
“We’re excited to have the Filco team join our operations as the Commercial 91²Ö¿â Zones continue to roll out across New York City”, said Josh Haraf, VP of NYC Market for IWS. “Their expertise will enhance our capabilities as we continue delivering outstanding service to our customers.”
