Coming Together for a Cleaner River: Source to Sea Cleanup 2025

Jon Locke • September 27, 2025

On September 27, a team of 10 dedicated volunteers from USA Waste & Recycling and All American Waste rolled up their sleeves and made a real difference along the Connecticut River. As part of the annual Source to Sea Cleanup, we joined forces with hundreds of others across the region, contributing our efforts at the Donald W. Barnes Boat Launch and the surrounding watershed area in Enfield, CT.

The result? 680 pounds of trash and debris removed from the environment in just a few hours.


And the day brought more than just sunny weather, it brought a renewed sense of purpose. From hauling out large debris to collecting smaller litter that can harm local wildlife, every bit of work mattered. Events like this remind us that even simple actions, when done together, can have a powerful impact.


The Source to Sea Cleanup, organized by the Connecticut River Conservancy, is more than a cleanup—it’s a call to action for communities to protect and restore the natural resources we all rely on. Our team was proud to represent our company values in the field, not just by removing waste, but by being part of a larger movement toward sustainability.


We’re grateful to every volunteer who brought their energy and commitment. To see more of the Source to Sea Cleanup, check out our social pages or visit https://sourcetoseacleanup.org/ to plan or join a cleanup of your own!

How one recycling plant is using AI to help make sorting process easier, faster

November 5, 2025
Murphy Road Recycling connected with Greyparrot , whose AI-powered material analyzers are installed in the All American MRF to do a feature for CBS News. Ambarish Mitra, the founder of Greyparrot, flew to Connecticut from the UK to visit our facility and spend some time with the crew who installed and maintain the analyzers. These analyzers use AI to identify materials going through the MRF, giving real time insight into the material stream. This data is used to provide quality control information, which is then used to adjust the system to improve efficiency and effectiveness. The CBS crew interviewed both Ambarish and our Director of Operations Jonathan Murray to discuss the relationship between advanced technology and the recycling industry. The CBS News feature aired in November and gained over 40 million nationwide impressions. We are incredibly proud of the hard work put in by our All American MRF crew to ensure the facility is constantly achieving excellence, and putting our region in national focus for recycling innovation.
