Today, three generations of the Antonacci family lead a diverse and growing organization grounded in hard work, innovation, and a deep commitment to the communities they serve.

What started as a small local operation has expanded into a dynamic network of businesses across multiple industries. From leading waste hauling and recycling companies-USA Waste and Recycling, All American Waste, F&G Recycling, Murphy Road Recycling, and Future Generations Recycling-to destination experiences like Sonny's Place and GreatHorse, the family's entrepreneurial vision continues to evolve.

Sonny's Place was created to bring families together through fun and entertainment, while GreatHorse and The Starting Gate offer a refined, yet welcoming experience rooted in luxury and hospitality.
