Why Choose SMI?

When you join SMI, you become part of a solid, growing and meaningful industry.

At SMI, we believe in recycling “where the rubber meets the road”—our work has a direct impact on our communities and the environment, every single day.

Our company is large enough to offer stability and growth opportunities, yet small enough to maintain the family-oriented atmosphere that makes SMI a great place to work. We're still locally owned, and our doors have been open since 1973. Our longevity is proof of the trust we've earned through transparency and the exceptional service we provide to our customers and our communities.

Eric Saxton, Accounting Manager

"I oversee our accounting team, manage accounts payables and handle cash reconciliations and closing procedures. Having come to SMI from an auditing role, I see firsthand how a respectful and friendly atmosphere makes all the difference in a workplace. We have a great team dynamic, and company events really help new team members meet and bond. What I appreciate most about SMI is the growth-oriented culture.
