Our History
Borden-Waste Away is one of several companies owned by Waste-Away Group, Ltd. Charles Himes, Sr., formed our company in 1940 with a single truck. A lot has changed since then, in terms of technology and innovation, but the values of the company and family-ownership have remained the same. Today, ownership is represented by the third generation of the Himes family and we’re proud to say that the fourth generation is working alongside us today.
Waste-Away Group, Ltd. manages waste collection, transportation, and disposal, both to a Materials Recovery Facility and landfill facilities for residential, commercial, and industrial customers.
Having served Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan for over 80 years, Waste-Away Group, Ltd. is headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana.
Its affiliate companies, Borden Waste-Away Service, Inc., providing residential waste and recycling removal, Himco Waste-Away Service, Inc., serving our commercial and industrial customers for their waste and recycling removal, Integra Certified Document Destruction LLC, providing safe, secure destruction of sensitive material and hard drives, and Recycling Works, Inc., the Materials Recovery Facility that sorts and ships recycling commodities to the world market for reuse. Together, these companies making up Waste-Away Group, provide innovative, environmentally sound solutions while maintaining a leading market share in its core business areas.
Our Community
Borden Waste-Away is dedicated to the community that we serve. We don’t just work here: we live here, too! In addition to serving our customers, we’re passionate about ensuring our community is clean and green, too. That’s why you’ll often see the Borden Waste-Away logo or the logo of one of our sister companies, like Himco Waste-Away, at events throughout the year.
We enjoy supporting our community through the following ways:
Community Sponsorship
We regularly sponsor causes that our meaningful to our team and community, like Cancer Research with our Pink Cart Program, and our local Junior Achievement chapters.
Event Services
We’re proud to partner with local organizations to ensure their events stay clean and green with trash collection, recycling stations, and zero-waste options.
Environmental Stewardship
As you drive around our service area, you might recognize a road we sponsor or even see our team out picking up trash. Behind the scenes, you can rest assured that your waste is being managed responsibly and meeting or exceeding best practices for the environment.
Dedicated Recycling
Our recycling services are managed in-house by our sister company, Recycling Works. This means we control the processes by which your recycling is handled – ensuring that we’re doing the most to protect the environment.
Youth Support
As a third-generation company, we know a little about the importance of youth and how we can shape the future by supporting kids. You’ll often find us sponsoring youth events and educating in local classrooms about recycling and our environment.
As a local, family-owned company, we believe it is our responsibility to help make the community we work and live in cleaner, more beautiful, and stronger than when we began serving you in 1940.
