About Waste-Away Group

Ownership of the Waste-Away Group is comprised of second and third generation family members.   Charles Himes, Sr, formed the company in 1940 and it began as a one-truck operation.  Today ownership is represented by a group of five people; second generation brothers, Charles Himes II and Stephen Himes and third generation brothers, Charles Himes III, Christopher Himes and Kenneth Himes.   The owners (see below picture gallery) work together to manage and maintain the multi-functional company as the market leader.

LEED Partnership

The Waste-Away Group provides creative solutions supporting green efforts within the waste and recyling industry.  LEED Partnership improves sustainability using specialized equipment such as Rotopack, which diminishes air space and maximizes height.  Our state-of-the-art recycling facility in Elkhart, Indiana, spearheads the area's single stream recycling movement.  Waste-Away services of document destruction, single stream recycling and waste hauling are each committed to reducing the community's carbon footprint.
