About Us
Denali is an innovative waste disposal and recycling company that is committed to repurposing waste to create value and make our economy more circular.
We have been at the forefront of diverting and converting organic waste streams for more than 25 years and have grown from a single rural Arkansas location to become a near-total solution provider for recurring organic waste streams across the U.S. Our leadership team is made up of some of the most experienced professionals in the industry, and we have an impeccable safety and environmental track record.
We power the circular economy for organic materials. We’re committed to the founding purpose that guides us: to replenish the earth by repurposing organic byproducts.
We understand the importance of reducing our environmental footprint, and we take care to ensure that our processes are as efficient and sustainable as possible. We’re constantly innovating and exploring new ways to reduce, reuse and recycle materials.
Growth through acquisitions and a focus on sustainability initiatives have kept us at the top of the organics recycling industry for decades.
